“Nonprofits with missions based on religious foundations face special challenges, and the fact that they answer to the Higher Power can work both for an against them.”
“Faith is a powerful thing. It can heal and build, protect, empower, and carry on, no matter how dire the circumstances. But perhaps the thing that faith does best, the thing it does as a precursor to all of the above, is motivate. It motivates people to do the things that lead to healing and to building, to protection, empowerment and perseverance, even when all seems lost. Faith doesn’t move mountains, but the faithful do.“
