Money Talks: Structuring Successful Nonprofits
Tuesday, March 16 2010
by Frank Stasio and Lindsay Thomas
Whether they are providing opportunities to at-risk youth or creating green jobs in underserved neighborhoods, most nonprofit organizations are founded on a passion for a cause. But to operate sustainably, they also need to have a solid structure, a set of decision makers with a wide variety of skills and a deep understanding of the populations they are serving. Today host Frank Stasio talks with a panel of experts about the obstacles to creating effective, successful nonprofit organizations. Joining him are: Micah Gilmer, a social entrepreneur-in-residence at UNC-Chapel Hill and a partner of Frontline Solutions; Trudy Smith, executive director of Executive Service Corps; Scintellix, Inc. CEO and President Peter Johnson; and Tom Kelley, a professor of law at UNC-Chapel Hill and the faculty supervisor of the school's Community Development Law Clinic.
This story is part of the Money Talks Series.
