REVIEW OF LITERATURE.
The purpose of this research paper is to identify various views and opinions on issues related to the concept of challenges faced by serial entrepreneurs and ways forward.At the same time, the number of nonprofits raising money has increased significantly.
According to Peter Drucker, approximately 800,000 nonprofit organizations have been established in the last three decades (Bornstein, 2018).Additionally, Cannon (2010) found that there has been a 40% increase in the number of nonprofit organizations in the United States over the past decade.As a result, nonprofit organizations now find themselves facing intense competition from other organizations in the industry, and financial support has become a concern for many nonprofit organizations.This increased competition has many consequences for nonprofit organizations.
Tripda, (2018) To be successful, nonprofit organizations must allocate their limited resources efficiently and face increasing pressures to demonstrate operational efficiency (usually by demonstrating good results).The proliferation of business models has increased the pressure and pushed non-profit organizations to create more language and business model requirements.This will include activities such as conducting market research with your customers and shifting the focus from seeking "donations" to attracting "investments."Finally, uncertainty around traditional funding is forcing nonprofits to rethink their funding strategies.Declining public funding raises questions not only about the sustainability of nonprofits, but also about the long-term viability of their programs and changes in society.
Reis (2019) shows the emergence of a new generation of volunteers who oppose the concept of donation.Coming from many different cultures and often referred to as "innovators," these philanthropists believe that philanthropy is always about the satisfaction of donors and not enough to achieve results such as results or impact.Internationally, the nonprofit landscape reflects many of these trends.
Fowler (2017) analyzed the situation of non-governmental development organizations (NGDOs) working in developing countries.He noted that they often operate as "destructive programs" on behalf of international donors, leading to problems such as support, dependency, poor performance of the company's character and financial impropriety.In addition, the economy as a whole faces performance problems; Only 15% of European organizations developing anti-poverty interventions appear to have security.
