Personally I think non-profits are a stupid idea, having seen a number of them hijacked by people of less than stellar intentions.
If you want to service a need then start a business. If you want to serve a low margin market, then figure out a low cost business model and run with it.
There is something romantic about the whole non-profit thing that just seems narcoticly attractive to idealistic people who think of business as evil.
Business is not evil inherently, just some implementations of it and it has somehow soiled the whole thing for a generation who are mooning around for something of meaning to fill their workdays.
The scope of meaning has unfortunately been reduced to working at a nonprofit.
