  1. Non-profits receive grants and preferential treatment from regular business activities and almost no real estate tax due to their missions and or some if faith based not even file the assets. Mega churches and others are making money as a faith based non-profit…

  2. 🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

    00:53 🧀 Nonprofits play a crucial role in providing essential services to communities, such as food banks, healthcare, and legal aid.
    04:18 💪 Nonprofits significantly impact individuals' lives, offering support, education, and opportunities for personal growth.
    08:52 💼 Nonprofits can have a profound effect on society, even with a single organization, by addressing societal issues and advocating for change.

    Made with HARPA AI

  3. Many Service providers used to be small taxpaying businesses that transitioned to a tax exempt nonprofit so they could be taxpayer grant funded. This is scary because if you sit back and see how many nonprofits this country has and how much of your tax dollars are funding them and big grants being sent to big corporate agencies, if the govt stopped giving away this money tomorrow….. What financial shape would we all be in? Most of this country now seems to be funded directly or indirectly or back end invoicing with your tax dollars it seems.. Nonprofits would close shop because many are totally dependent on our taxpayer dollars. Doesnt even Elon Musk receive govt funding? Hasn't the airlines received govt funding? Have our utility companies received govt funding… ? Have our appliance mfrs received funding for green energy…research the dept of energy website for all the green energy (from microwaves to ceiling fans …from A/Cs to washers, etc) ? Have our auto dealers received govt funding? What about pharma that used to be responsible for doing their own years of research to mfr a reliable product back then…. What has happened with pharma…are they now being funded by our tax dollars to financially support research so they can sell us an unaffordable med, charge Medicare and Medicaid astronomical $, and they make billions in profits and now we have more class action lawsuits in ads more than ever plus we cant even keep up with fda recalls anymore it is so many! Folks it's just about everything the consumer touches now it seems. The govt should not give any monies to any business, private or not! Is this why we have such high taxes, inflation, etc? If any private or nonprofit is receiving direct or indirect govt funding, then those entities should never donate to any political campaigns or give anything of value to any elected official! Period! Stop this financial burden on Americans!

  4. Hello and good afternoon I am opening a charity which will involve people with mental health issues. I not sure who I can use for directors ? would be grateful thanks

  5. 501c3 nonprofit is a SCAM. It robs you from your independent freedom. They’re not giving you anything FREE, they are grooming you to become a client. This lady is a LIAR. Her smile and her false face showing empathy is all and act. 501c3 is robbing your freedom and make you a prisoner. It’s designed to keep you vulnerable so you go to them and they grow their organization. It’s a TRAP.

  6. Non profits are a scam. These companies take tax dollars to enrich themselves. The communities they claim to help get stuck with the tax bill while the top people in the non profit pilfer the funds. It’s pathetic. Abolish these scams

  7. This is exactly what my nonprofit Indigo Door Project Inc. was created to address, single parents and grandparents raising children, experiencing financial instability up to and including homelessness and displacement. I wanted to find ways to fund it, and now I've found this video which helped in a way I didn't even know I needed.

  8. One of the most platitude-filled Ted Talks I have ever heard. I liked the message, but it was basically a personal anecdote and motivational fluff.

    I was hoping for an insightful message about how to assess or recognize the value of non-profits. Instead it was all about rehearsing self evident truths about the benefits of non profits.

  9. Poor white guy here

    Not being able to access healthcare is a class issue not a race issue, we need to stop dividing ourselves by color and come to together as the working class.

    Maybe try to help everyone by improving our healthcare system (universal healthcare would be great) instead of just helping people of a certain race

  10. I am researching non-profit and profit and came across this video. I study colors and have somehow realized I can bring colors into the world of neurodiverse children, to help them have better tools for learning and possibly to explore life in colors. Thank you for this talk.

  11. Thank you for this Tedx Talk. I work with a non profit organization and am looking to learn as much as I can to be an invaluable, irreplaceable asset to my organization.

  12. This was a lovely speech.
    But it raises some questions to me….

    1. Legally speaking, how can a business be factually called a NFP if it’s making a profit.

    2. I have always had the concern that some NFP’s intentionally lie or at least manipulate the public, so they offer the NFP more donations, volunteer etc- when it’s likely they are very well funded.

    I know of one huge organisation doing exactly this, and it makes me irate to know they are playing people to line the pockets of those in it that benefit.

  13. How much did you pay yourself? I always think it's interesting how much these people pay themselves. It's for profit trust me. Does it do good things probably but people were making money for sure!

  14. Wow what a wonderful heart felt speech. Thank you, I’ve been trying to come up with ideas on what to do, I want to help other autism parents. I want to start a non profit!!
