this might be the wrong audience to discuss this, but id like to do so anyways, as im totally clueless on the subject.
trying to write a paper about social roles and social limits concerning nonprofit organizations, such as charities, private schools, private clubs, and religious groups.
anyone got anything to say? i hope so.

RePhrase that, you meant to say ForProfit agency as most so-called NonProf's are actually 90% adminstrative in essence.
I've worked along side NGO's and NonProf's while in Africa and here in the USA.
It's all BS.

If you want to see what I'm talking about just do a search on how NonProf's run their sh*t. You will find that most hospitals qualify as Not-For-Profit agencies. For instance, UPMC here in PBurgh. My @ss, they pay their doctors in the average range of 175 to 250K per annum, yet don't have to pay taxes based upon some loophole. It's BS. plus, they buy out smaller well-run hospitals that cannot compete with their corporateness.
:P

i agree with JazX. at the top level, it's mostly BS and just a way to get around taxes.
that's why i am so hesitant to donate some of those institutions.

By "social roles" do you mean their place in society at large or their internal "organizational culture"?
