Who really owns a nonprofit? Well, SPOILER ALERT, it's NOT you!

The concept of who owns a nonprofit organization can be hard for some to grasp, especially given that the answer is, “No one!” We encounter this confusion with new clients on a fairly regular basis. And, given people’s understanding of how basic business operates, it is understandable. In order to fully appreciate the concept of “non-ownership”, it is helpful to first talk about the various types of business entities. Then, we’ll look at organizational purpose. By the end of the video, it should make a lot more sense.

It is the one thing keeping me from starting a private family foundation. Giving a lot of hard-earned money to a foundation that I start only to have a board vote to give the money to organizations I oppose. It happened to the Ford Foundation, the Packard Foundation, the Annenberg Foundation, you name it.
