For-Profits and Non-Profits: A Research on the Collaboration’s Premises during the Financial Crisis

Abstract

The relationships between non-profit and for-profit entities in the post financial crisis period are complex due to the risks and benefits associated. In their struggle for achieving sustainability, the non-profits involve themselves in such agreements with an incomplete understanding of the implied consequences and potential costs. This chapter deals with analyzing the manner in which corporate organizations interact with non-profit organizations in terms of the fundraising activity during the forthcoming timeframe to the financial crisis. The study was conducted among the representatives of for-profit organizations.
