The Emerging Capital Market for Nonprofits
內容大綱
Why is it that effective business start-ups frequently grow into corporate giants, but effective new nonprofits rarely reach national scale? Because, say Harvard Business School's Kaplan and Grossman, the mechanisms and institutions that channel money and information between donors and nonprofits are underdeveloped. They don't provide reliable data on performance and don't hold organizations accountable for producing results. So inefficient nonprofits swallow up dollars that effective ones could use to serve more constituents. The good news is, that's beginning to change: A new generation of charitable foundations and intermediaries is measuring the impact of donations and targeting the highest-performing nonprofits. Taking a page from mutual funds and venture capital firms in the private sector, the new intermediaries conduct extensive due diligence on nonprofits and demand hard data on outcomes achieved. A few pioneers provide ongoing support, helping grantees develop action plans, detailed frameworks to measure impact, and strategic advice. If practices like these spread, we could soon see a social capital market that delivers real returns on donors' dollars.
