Friday Roundtable rewind: state of nonprofits in MN
This week on the Friday Roundtable, we bring together a group of nonprofit leaders to look at the state of charities and nonprofit organizations in Minnesota. Is passion and belief in the mission enough to make a successful nonprofit, or is more innovation and accountability needed? And what kind of lessons can nonprofits learn from the corporate world?
