Nonprofit organizations face distinct challenges. They tackle some of the greatest social problems in our society. They educate, take care of the sick and the indigent, advocate, facilitate, encourage and mobilize volunteers, build communities, promote religion and science, and fundraise all in ways that the private sector and government cannot. And they must navigate a labyrinth of legal rules and public policies that in many cases are unique to the nonprofit sector.
