		<description><![CDATA[Like me, you all have probably noticed a big increase in the number of conversations on data measurement, collection and use by nonprofits. Personally, the more I&#8217;ve read about it  the more I start to wonder if we&#8217;ll see these conversations hop over from the best practice side onto the legal side. I say this [...]]]></description>

But in all fairness, this deluge of posts comes from the surprisingly large amount of questions I&#8217;m getting from organizations about contracts. From how to draft them to which contracts to use it seems organizations are starting to get hip to reality; nonprofits are a business and have to [...]]]></description>

And it can be extremely tough to navigate that thin line between advising on legal strategy and stepping over into business strategy.

		<description><![CDATA[I came across a piece I thought would serve as a great segway for a post I&#8217;ve meant to write for a while now. There&#8217;s been tons of articles discussing the unfair treatment exempt/social-benefit organization&#8217;s get in comparison to their for-profit counterparts.

More often than not, I find &#8220;Start that nonprofit and/or foundation&#8221; rounds out the top five for many folks. So inherently, I get a few more calls in January [...]]]></description>
