With Jerr Boschee

The pressures confronting nonprofits today are daunting:

• Demand for services is increasing
• Donors are requiring greater levels of accountability

Fortunately, during the past few years, nonprofits throughout the country have been responding to the pressures by adopting entrepreneurial strategies that emphasize a "double bottom line": Helping the organization expand its impact and simultaneously increase its financial self-sufficiency.
