Making Money at a Non-Profit

Sophia Parafina (LDS)

Times are hard and your angel funder just told you that your non-profit open source org needs to feed itself. What to do? Become a dot org, a revenue generating organization that stays true to its mission. How? Build product, reorganize, rebrand, adopt new business models. Great, but it also means change, in terms of process, organization, culture and people’s expectations. The talk is about achieving a balance between profitability and the open source mission.
