Who I Serve
I work with social sector organizations across the U.S. This includes incorporated entities—nonprofits, for-profits, or hybrids of the two—whose main purpose is to achieve a social mission. Nonprofits include 501(c)(3) charities and other tax-exempt organizations defined by the Internal Revenue Service. For-profits with a primary social mission include cooperatives, third-party certified ventures, traditional corporate forms, and new corporate forms. Hybrids include nonprofit parents with for-profit subsidiaries, for-profit parents with nonprofit subsidiaries, and commercial co-ventures.
