More and more people
are looking to cross the bridge by moving from the corporate to the
charitable world. Many, like Neville Kirchmann, President of the
Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, are executives whose positive
experience with a charitable organization led to a career that seems
to have chosen them. Others begin an active job search to find a
position where they can make use of the skills theyâve built in the
private sector while acting as ãagents of changeä. |

The ultimate goal of a
for-profit corporation is to increase shareholder value and profit.
For a non-profit, the mission is to realize a dream, which may be
anything from finding a cure for breast cancer to sending children
to summer camp to funding a ballet school. These are dreams that,
for the right person at the right time can create a life's work. |

also covers the skills that can be transferred from the corporate to
the nonprofit sector, how charities are different from corporations
and what you will need to learn to cross the bridge successfully. |
