      The Importance of Being Entrepreneurial - Innovation in Nonprofits- Webinar

      Women who think like entrepreneurs will be more successful in leading tomorrow’s non-profits. Many non-profits are launching entrepreneurial ventures in order to increase earned revenue, rather than relying only on philanthropic gifts.
