Non-Profits Need MBAs Too

I know I'm not the first non-profit person to embark upon an MBA. Nor will I be the last. And that is a great thing!

Here is a refreshing feature article about MBAs and non-profits from the Forté Foundation website. What I like about this article is that it covers not just what MBAs can do for non-profits (bringing our fabulous organizational and leadership skills, not to mention incredible business modelling techniques and statistical prowess, obviously!) but what non-profits can do for MBAs.

It’s clear what benefits non-profits derive from pulling business talent in the door, but what do MBAs have to gain? Almost always, bridging to a nonprofit means that they will forsake larger corporate salaries and defined career pathways. But the trade-off, say those who’ve done it, is worth it.

Why? And how, you ask? Read on!

Non-profit ladies out there, please leave some comments about your MBA experience. We'd love to hear from you.

Enjoy,

Jen
