Stories, software and strategies to help nonprofits do the social web
Nearly 100 new nonprofits are created in the U.S. every day about 35,000 a year most of them doing the same things as existing organizations wrestling with the same social problems. Over 90% are very small with less than half a million dollars in annual revenues. In his recent article in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Mark Kramer wrote that, because of fragmentation, redundancy, and the plethora of small organizations "there is little reason to assume that [nonprofits] have the ability to solve society's large-scale problems." I would argue that it is precisely because we aren't committing ourselves to solving society's large-scale problems that we have fragmentation and redundancy.
