Non-profit organizations are those that work to help a specific cause or group of people. These organizations often face unique issues that are handled by the management staff, including fundraising techniques, budgeting constraints, and communicating with a board of directors. Non-profit organizations may help the arts community, provide service for relief efforts, or benefit a specific charity. There are over 1.6 million non-profit organizations in the United States. Non-profit managers desire to make a difference in their community by working with an organization that will benefit the environment, the poor, or those less fortunate. Long hours and extreme dedication are required in this career.
