[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see several people around me starting non-profits, they get paid by it, their kids get resume bumps by it and social life prospers with it. They do some good work but most of the donations go towards administrative expenses and salaries so net effect is low. We give as much in donations as possible but sometimes it feels like we are only supporting  lifestyles of people who can't find other jobs. Is it true or just skepticism? [/quote]
Somewhat. I worked for a non profit. Would the clients have appreciated if the non profit vaporized and someone just cut them a check ? Probably. But the whole teach a human to fish thing. I think that experiment (just cutting a check)  has been tried some places and it's ok too. I mean basically cut out the non profits, give everyone checks and you have socialism. Not the worst thing I guess. The whole experience left me meh. Isn't government a massive non profit? Anyhoo [/quote]

Are you teaching them how to fish or are you teaching them how to game the nonprofit? [/quote]
