Nonprofit Business Plan Overview - Nonprofit Toolkit. Throughout this guide, there have been numerous references to the differences between a nonprofit and a for-profit organization. Nowhere will that difference become more immediately apparent than when your organization develops its business plans.

This disruptive change is good for everyone because it’s creating new opportunities for how to address some of society’s long-standing, complex problems, and strengthening business and nonprofits in the process. Several key trends are driving this evolution. In today’s economy, the interdependence between business and society is front and center in many people’s minds.

A new generation of customers and employees are calling on companies to take action to help address complex and challenging social issues, from spurring local economic opportunities, to solving global health problems.
