Where the Truth Comes From Just Might Surprise You

I am the type of person that likes to be informed by facts. I read daily to keep up with as much of the information as possible. I have found that the connecting of a fact to a particular issue is not always easy for every individual. I have nicknamed it ”The Day Job Barrier.”
When the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy released their report in March of 2009 there was strong criticism of the report. However, the debate should be viewed in the context of a thought out documented means to spark discussion.
The one aspect of the report that should be adopted by all entities associated to the nonprofit industry is measuring the goal of meeting or exceeding of benchmarks.
The both line is to stop talking about exploring what benchmarks to follow and adopting a set of best practices. It just might make the nonprofit industry new friends in high places.
