#12 Non-Profit Organizations
January 21, 2008 by clander
It is a known fact that white people make up 95% of non-profit organizations. They can’t get enough of them.
They like working there for a number of reasons, the most important of which is that it gives them a sense of self importance. This is important so that they can tell their friends and parents that they are “helping” society, and not just working to make money.
But the sweet side of non profits is that you are paid a competitive salary for your field. So you can be working at a non-profit and still make six figures, and you don’t have accountability or pressure. Again, like most things with white people - you can’t lose!

Reading the user comments here and in other sections gives me a great idea for a new post: White people don’t understand satire when it’s pointed right at them.
(is this the reason why White person Meccas like Amherst or Berkeley are so devoid of humor?)
I shop at Goodwill - does this count for anything??? Please, I have to know!!!!!
I must assuage my guilt from slavery.
That is all.
I am white and I work for a nonprofit - Grassroots.org!
[...] there was a cup of fair trade Ethiopian coffee (#1) and shopping at the non profit (#12) ANU Food Co-op (#48) for organic tempeh and the like (#6), followed by a trip to Choku Bai Jo [...]
Something else white people like — pointing out that things that make them nervous are not literally or precisely true.
“Did Martin Luther King actually have a dream? You know, while he was asleep? Or did he actually mean he had a wish? I mean, either way he’s great, you know, but…”
We in the biz refer it as the “poverty industry.” See we are the middlemen. We do the begging so poor people don’t have to, and we take a small percentage of the action.
Its a win/win situation, with paid holidays (and sick days, and insurance, and retirement, and vacation, and nepotism, and ….)
u wish u were white.how sad. hater
u know it’s true….
everything i do…
i do it for profit!
I’ll have to disagree with this post. I barely paid the bills with my former non-profit salary. The ED’s salary was slightly over $50k a year, and that’s crap pay for an executive level employee in CA.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You just single-handedly justified the existence of this site!
You are actually correct…the IRS will be breathing down your neck if not (unless they haven’t gotten around to auditing that non-profit yet)
