Nonprofit Revenue Generating Venture Values

Nonprofit revenue generating ventures can offset dependency on grants adding funds for a nonprofit to better pursue mission.

A Washington Post, accurate or not, should serve as a reminder, I believe, that a nonprofit's revenue generating ventures should be operated in line with the values held by the nonprofit.  The Post story tells of the Church Bible of Understanding's operating two high-end antique stores to generate revenue to finance a Haitian orphanage.  The story highlighted that the orphanage is being run at a stardard of care well below Haitian standards or effectively what would be considered inconsistent to most core faith values.
