I had to do an assignment for my Economics class. An article. i decided to look up how charities and nonprofit organizations are (have been, will be) doing in the economy. Turns out that most charities face 2 ultimatums: get taxed or get shut down. nonprofit organizations dont generate sales income or their own income in such a way as a store or commercial entity does. they quite literally rely on the goodwill and support of others. Its a shame 'cause a lot of the charities and nonprofit bodies make a difference in their communites. a lot of them are found in rural and small town areas, where welfare is hardest hit. What do other people have to say about this??? perhaps there will be someone to witness the shutting down of a local nonprofit oranization. This sucks. here's a link to the article, from Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2416281420100324?type=marketsNews "US charities to feel lag effects of recession in 2010"
