Nonprofit organizations are often a grass-roots project started by concerned families or affected citizens. Those involved come together over a shared mission and goals. They are not interviewed and hired to fit a vacancy in a hierarchical structure as they would be in a corporate structure. So, a nonprofit often may struggle to establish itself competently and run efficiently.
