Don Boulia, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Charity Navigator, discusses his transition from the corporate tech world to the nonprofit sector. He highlights key differences, such as the shift in focus from profit to mission and revenue, and the deeper sense of altruism that characterizes nonprofit organizations. At Charity Navigator, he introduced formal product management practices to support the organization's mission of facilitating impactful giving through comprehensive ratings. Boulia reflects on measuring success in a nonprofit context and balancing revenue generation with mission fulfillment.
Measuring success in nonprofit organizations comes down to understanding the mission's impact rather than focusing solely on profit.
The adjustment in terminology from profit to revenue was a significant shift for me, highlighting the differences in focus between for-profit and nonprofit sectors.
At Charity Navigator, we aim to make impactful giving easier by providing comprehensive ratings, which reflects a dedication to our mission beyond financial metrics.
The deeper sense of altruism that exists in nonprofit organizations often stems from their broader purpose, which can be challenging to translate into conventional revenue.
