Abstract: Abstract Why the nonprofit sector over the private or public sectors? Nonprofit organizations differ from both for-profit and public-sector organizations in several ways. Whether you can articulate these differences easily from reading textbooks and research articles, or whether you have learned them implicitly through your own work as a nonprofit practitioner, you will no doubt agree with this claim. These differences may in fact be part of what has sparked your interest in the sector. In this chapter, we talk about two characteristics of nonprofit organizations—multiple stakeholders and multiple bottom lines—that not only distinguish them from other types of organizations but also reveal ethical questions that we must consider when studying and working in the sector.
