Growing competition for a shrinking pool of funds, ever more intense public scrutiny, greater involvement by boards of directors, stricter state and federal regulations, tighter budgets - these and a host of other new facts of life require that today's nonprofit organizations, like their for-profit counterparts, be leaner, more bottom-line driven business organizations.
