We in the South Bronx love our Non -Profit organization. Not all people are obsessed with "making money." Sure everyone has to pay their bill and make a living, but she also like to help the community, in health care, social services and education. These non-profit organizations range from big hospitals to tiny little day cares and artistic organizations. I went to a forum on this, the Bronx Forum on Friday, March 13th, sponsored by Hostos College, the Bronx Borough President's Office and the Jewish Community Relations Council. Of course, many of the foundations funding NPO activity are associated with corporations. A woman came to speak to the forum from the JP Morgan Chase Foundation, and she recommended that due to short funding in many areas, that NPOs should merge. Of course JPM has been doing a number of mergers itself this year, as with Bear Stearns, and WaMu, with a lot of help from dear old Uncle Sam. Oh well, it is time to build infrastructure and get people back to work.
