Fran Barrett: Profiting from Nonprofits

Fran Barrett, Executive Director of CRE, has been published in the New York edition of the Huffington Post. In her first blog for the Huffington Post, Fran describes the diversity of the New York City nonprofit sector.  

Here is an excerpt from the article:

"New York is the nonprofit capital of the world. More people work in the non-profit sector here than work in Finance, Real Estate and Insurance combined. According to a recent study by the Fiscal Policy Institute, 473,018 people in New York work in the non-profit sector. We're an industry. Major universities, like Columbia Business School, NYU Wagner School, Milano at the New School and Baruch train students in non-profit management. Yes, people are willing to pay thousands - sometimes tens of thousands - of dollars to prepare to work in the non-profit sector."
