The Non-Profit Dilemma

3

Let’s say that all For-Profit Corporations make 10% Net Profit from their operations. This is an over- optimistic Net Profit percentage. Most businessed make less than 10% Net Profit, but let’s make the numbers easy to work with. What if all For-Profit Corporations would donate 10% of their profits to Non-Profit Organizations, who work to make the world a better place? A tithe would be 10% of their profits. Their profits are 10% of their operations. 10% of 10% is 1%. Ten Percent of profit, then, equals 1% of overall operations. Therefore, 1% of the impact of a For-Profit Corporation (in this example) would go towards making the world a better place, while the other 99% of their activities maybe don’t contribute to making the world a better place. Indeed, they may even damage the environment, local communities, or human relations.
