Non-Profit Sector
The essence of voluntary action is that it
is not directed or controlled by the State
and that in the main it is financed by
private, in contradistinction to public,
funds. It embodies the sense of
responsibility of private persons towards
the welfare of their fellows; it is the
meeting by private enterprise of a public
need.
(Nathan, 1952, p12)

Why Nonprofits?
There are economic, historical, and political
theories regarding the reason why nonprofit
organizations exist in today's society.
Economic Theories:
Market failure - This theory is based on the
premise that not enough people desire a service
or program to attract for-profit corporations to
provide such services. Also, the fact that an
organization exists without a profit-motive instills
trust in the constituent.

Self-portrait, Jacob, 6
Jacob is one of five children under the age of seven.
Life at home is chaotic as Mum and Dad, while
struggling to cope with their children, become
physically and emotionally abusive.
When Jacob appears to be distressed and anxious, he
will become withdrawn and engross himself in his art.
This is a self-portrait that Jacob produced on one such occasion.
When Jacob arrived at the early childhood program, he was very
upset and curled up on a rug, cuddling into a teddy bear, while he was
gently patted. After some time, he settled, rejoined the group of
children and then quietly wandered over to the easel and produced
this masterpiece.
