I guess so, though my own experience in the nonprofit sector has made me a little skeptical of how big the difference really is in many cases. In many instances I feel nonprofits end up acting like cat's paws for their donors. May not apply to hospice care.
- justin66 3y agoThe nonprofit hospice I - and a few people I know - have dealt with a few times over the years has an excellent reputation and lives up to it. I'm not familiar with all their operations, obviously, but I don't think it could even function as a branch of a large for-profit corporation, let alone as part of the government. > In many instances I feel nonprofits end up acting like cat's paws for their donors. May not apply to hospice care. There are ways I could see a hospice service getting fucked up in that way, by influence wielded by its donors (if a large amount of donations came from a single religious sect that wanted to impose its ways on end of life care, or something) but the difference is that I'd view a large for-profit corporation fucking it up as inevitable. The use of a benefit corporation might help with that, possibly, with the right leadership.
