Nonprofit funders are demanding nonprofits be accountable for use of their funds, which requires nonprofits to report on performance. These requirements force nonprofits to divert funds from fulfilling their mission to developing measures, collecting and analyzing data, and completing reports. Additionally, nonprofits are turning to commercial ventures to generate revenue. These revenues are unrestricted and do not require reporting requirements, but they do require skills not typically associated with the nonprofit sector.
