title: Doing "good" vs. doing "well": the role of nonprofits in society.
abstract: Nonprofit organizations play a unique role in American life. However, they cannot exist alone; they have a complex, interdependent relationship with the economy's two other sectors-business and government. Driving the success of both for-profit and nonprofit organizations is the corporate board. This column explores the dynamics of boards, the connections among the three sectors, and our nation's growing reliance on nonprofits.
