Non-profits are setup to fail. 1.5 million exist in the United States today and the number is growing. For funding, many non-profits count on a grant pool which more than the years have been constant, not nearly matching the rise in demand. To exacerbate the growing requirement of more funding the world's economy collapsed in 2008 and is showing only meager warning signs of recovery.

A reliance upon grants as well as the reality of your shrinking pool of money are coming up with a 'can't fail' mentality for non-profits. If the program is funded via a grant along with the non-profit reports the funded program as being a failure, the funder will most often choose to go some other place: find a successful program to invest in. A cycle of waste develops as non-profits elect to report only successes, for fear of losing the cash. In the long run, broken programs receive money while potentially successful programs take a seat on the shelf and gather dust.

Innovations in non-profit fundraising techniques have helped non-profits succeed when others have failed whilst traditional revenue streams have run out. Social networking spaces like Facebook may make the specter of raising money a tremendous amount easier by spreading your fundraising goals on the larger pool.
