Since the turn of the century, we have faced many societal and financial challenges to raising money for our organizations: September 11, 2001, the recession that began in 2007, and annual natural disasters that challenge the worldwide environment. On the flip side, models also indicate those likely to be unresponsive. Please be safe!

How might things be different if we start thinking about our collective impact? It was only when I started reading works by critical accountants (another relatively new sub-field of accounting studies) that I began to really think about how conventional accounting models have been constructed. I love the idea of "collective impact."

Why haven't children's museums pushed past the 1970s model?

So, first off, one of the interesting things was that there was some initial differences of opinion as to how to define open APIs, and what they were used for. From his perspective (and mine, too) one of the big issues (as he put it, the elephant in the room) is how open APIs impacts the business model of vendors.

While this is an important constituency, nonprofits are different in that they do not have shareholders and they serve many stakeholders. Therefore, new accounting models are needed that speak to the uniqueness of nonprofits. This is a very different way to look at the value of a nonprofit. Sigel Press, 2007, pg.
