		<description>&gt;&gt; Can somebody please please revolutionize Nonprofit web design, soon?

No. No one can revolutionize anything non-profit, because the non-profit sector attracts megalomaniacs who value power over profit, both on a personal and institutional front. The non-profit sector is a fertile hunting ground for those who love wielding unfettered control over others and a universe of petty fiefdoms.

Think about it: it&#039;s the nature of the entire sector. If you run a non-profit, your only &#039;customers&#039; are people who must kowtow to you, lest they be cut off from your funding if they &#039;misbehave.&#039; It&#039;s a tyrant&#039;s wet dream, especially in a small organization. At least with the big ones, ones that attract large donors, some actual oversight, whether through boards or audits or whatnot, occurs. Can you imagine what would happen if some of these smaller non-profit executives actually had to be held to a standard of behavior? 

No, no innovation for you. The tyrants won&#039;t allow it because it would mean giving up control. Never gonna happen.</description>
