Educational and Research Opportunities

The reasons for becoming involved with education and research in a particular field are innumerable. From altruistic motives to the desire to revolutionize an industry, founders of NPOs have any number of incentives for establishing a nonprofit organization.

If a particular community has a need, then nonprofit organizations are in a unique position to fill it. Educational and research not-for-profit organizations can provide training in areas that have been heretofore overlooked, can do research in these same areas, and radically transform the business landscape as a result of this work. For the many people who want to give back to their community through education and research, a nonprofit business model can help achieve these goals.
