The World According to Me! by Keith Westergaard
They say that if you give a man a fish and he will eat for a day...teach him to fish and he will eat for a lifetime but teach him how to cook that fish; he will stink up the kitchen.

Making a profit in a non profit organization is never a good idea

I have been associated with a non profit organization which offers a wide variety of great programming to America's youth but recently, in our section of the  world, the organization appears to be highly driven by earning a profit in the program offered.
If an event does not appear to make a certain profit, then that program is quickly scrapped.
Recently a merger was created by the professional exec's where appropriate support is sacrificed for the volunteers over the profit margin would bring in.
Currently, the volunteers have expressed concerns over the lack of help by the professional staff and that is often ignored by the higher ups because of the money driven attitude.
So when does the non profit status of a non profit organization become profitable business?
This may be something that maybe only the IRS can decide.
As for me, I would rather provide a  quality program for today's youth over a lack luster program that is profit driven.
