We should not be defined by what we are not

It’s kind of ironic that Partnership in Philanthropy is a “not-for-profit” because if there’s anything that we exist “for”, it’s to make a profit. We are a nonprofit that’s all about making a profit. We work hard with our clients to make them donor-worthy so that they can raise the funds, to pay for the services, which increase the quality of life of the people they serve. We are “for” building reserves for a rainy day; we are “for” hiring and retaining the best possible staff to serve the organizations; we are “for” recruiting the most competent and involved board members to govern the organizations; we are “for” creating profitable enterprises that have longevity and stability, even in times of economic hardship.

So I ask all the nonprofits out there: what can PIP do “for” you? Because we exist solely “for” you…to make you profitable in every way.
