Today on Money Talk, we will discuss the importance of real estate in serving the mission of a non-profit.  We'll cover the history of real estate, from nomadic tribes to feudal societies to the industrial revolution to today's modern real estate.  We'll also talk about who owns American real estate, and why it matters to non-profits.  Finally, with a few examples along the way, we'll learn the best way to avoid the pitfalls of the real estate curse on the mission of a non-profit. Hopefully, by the end of our talk today, you'll better understand the real estate side of non-profits, and the importance of "place" to do the Mission.

A "Place" to Do the Mission: Non-Profit Real Estate

Today on Money Talk, we will discuss the concept of the Sustainability Ratio, a new metric to evaluate whether or not a non-profit is growing or dying.  Through two stories of two of my all-time favorite organizations, you'll learn the real implications of the Sustainability Ratio.  Hopefully, by the end of our talk today, you'll better understand the Ratio, and know why it's always important to have a positive Ratio, because if you are, then your non-profit will be Funding the Opportunity Zone.

Funding the Opportunity Zone

Today on Money Talk, we will discuss the importance of understanding the business of a non-profit.  Non-profits exist to fulfill a mission, often filling the gaps in society.  However, if a non-profit buys any supplies, rents a building or pays even one employee, then there's a business side that also matters.  A common refrain is "no money, no mission."  In this episode, we'll address how much good work should a non-profit produce, the difference between transactional and transformational work, the sweet spot of the ideal mix of contributed income and earned income, and why diversity of revenue benefits the whole non-profit, and therefore, the community.  Hopefully, by the end of our talk today, you'll better understand the business side of non-profits.
