It's All About the Results

Whenever I want to critisize a nonprofit I look up and down at the governance and management functions.  Few nonprofits do well with these two functions so it doesn't usually take me long to find something to critisize.

Today's New York Times had two feature stories on Teach For America, a $110 million nonprofit.  Why I ask?  Results, plain and simple.  Teach For America delivers results -- improved educational scores and equally improved volunteers with invaluable experiences that will leave college students with lasting impressions. 

Yes, I am sure there are bumps and maybe even problems in the governance and management functions but when it matters most, it's about results.  Congratulations Teach!
