Passion & Purpose: Raising the Fiscal Fitness Bar for Massachusetts Nonprofits is both a primer on the state's nonprofit organizations and a call to action. It aims to further the understanding of Massachusetts nonprofits and the values they provide, as well as take a hard look at the sector to underscore the importance of financial health as a necessary and critical condition to meeting its public purpose. The report calls upon all stakeholders-government, foundations, investors and nonprofits themselves-to raise the fiscal fitness bar by looking at strategies, practices and policies to strengthen the Massachusetts nonprofit sector so that it can continue to serve as a powerful 'glue' for our communities, an expression of our values, and an important contributor to our state's competitive edge.
