What type of value are we even talking about?
Money in the bank (aka assets + equity)? Membership numbers? Cultural/social impact measured by qualitative and quantitative data? Have you stopped even caring about non-profits because these concepts are so boring?
Well if the answer is yes, then you probably shouldn't apply to TDC for a job, since they are the matchmaking consultants that help pair non-profit organizations with donor vision/values. These guys are the experts on what makes a non-profit tick.
But I'm more curious about the gestalt of nonprofits. Is there a basic formula or building block to form non-profits and evaluate their worth?
Or is it all IRS designation like the Scientologists can attest? Or is it really about the whims of the 1% donors and chasing after whatever fancy their legacy aligns with?
Let's try and create an equation that reflects the current milieu:
(Capitalization + Social impact) x (Board dynamics) = Value
Please add a comment with you suggestions on how to balance this equation.
