The one area in which many artists seem to forget is that the term “non-profit”  is a little bit of a misnomer, as in actuality, all non-profits need to make money :-) .  But artists themselves are NOT non-profits so do not set yourself up to starve by choosing poorly managed, bogus or ill-fitted charities to partner with  :-) .  Choose wisely and determine the mutual benefit to both parties.

Author John Jantsch says,  “Creating a partnership with a non-profit agency can have a dramatically positive marketing impact if handled correctly. I’ve worked with countless non-profit agencies over the years, and while they they’ll take contributions from businesses all day long, what they really want is something much more valuable.”
