15.6. WEB EXERCISE
How might you use the World Wide Web to find financial data on social ventures and their funders? Start by using GuideStar to look up information on specific nonprofit organizations (www.guidestar.org). What can you find out about the relationship between annual revenues and compensation of the president or chief executive officer? What percentage of total revenues is spent for general and administrative costs? Fund-raising costs? For information on foundations, try using the online foundation finder at the Foundation Center (http://foundationcenter.org). Check with your library to see if it subscribes to the more comprehensive online Foundation Directory. Then use the directory to search for foundations funding subjects of interest to you.
