In “Suits, Jobs, and Training: Joi Gordon Is Grooming Thousands of Women for Career Success” by Karen Chambers:
- "In addition to good people skills, today’s nonprofit executive must possess strong business acumen, explains David J. Maurrasse Ph.D., president and CEO of Marga, Inc., a global consulting firm on philanthropy and strategic partnership. 'The environment in which nonprofits are situated right now is one that is far more professionalized than it was 20 years ago,' he says. 'All the things you’re seeing in the for-profit sector – around transparency and financial management – are also affecting the nonprofit sector.'"
- "'We have a saying in the funding community,' asserts Maurrasse. 'Funders fund people, not organizations.'"
- "Maurrasse does note that today’s private donors, corporate sponsors, and foundations, more than liking a fundraising executive, have to feel confident in the organization’s mission and its track record of deliverables. 'Nonprofit leaders must be competent in capacity building, diversifying funding streams, and effective marketing of their programs.'"
