Big impact: Nonprofits and the community
Does the term “nonprofit business” seem like an oxymoron to you? Often when people hear of the vibrant nonprofit sector in the greater Omaha area, they are surprised. Maybe it’s because the bottom line of a nonprofit is different than most businesses and that confuses people. To those of us in the nonprofit field, it is simple: the for-profit or private sector is generally concerned with how much money they make for their shareholders, while nonprofits are focused on how much impact is made in the community for our stakeholders.
