A not for profit (NFP), is a type of corporation that lacks the primary drive to maximise profit for shareholders (fiduciary duty). An NFP still needs to make money to pay for labour and operational costs however its main objective is something other than profit to shareholders, like promoting football around the world or curingh HIV. In recent years, as corporate culture has spread the line of profit has become increasingly blurry.
To operate NFPs need people, people require wages, this is not deemed as profit as people are a necessity to the operation of the business. The best NFPs can be at least ten times better than a typical NFP operating within the same area, hundreds of times better than poor-performing NFPs, and the worst NFPs can do harm[1]. This is to do with legacy efficiency, since the digital revolution many NFPs have large human resources bills for workers who do unproductive jobs[2]. Furthermore, with inequality is rising, CEO compensation has grown 940% since 1978, this includes those working in NFPs.[3] NFPs should have a moral commitment[4] to efficiency to ensure spiralling ineffcicient work forces do not swallow money where it is needed most.
