Maytree has just launched a contest asking non-profits for a piece of advice they'd like to share with the corporate world.  Here is a sample from the contest website...

You’re always being told that you have much to learn from business. But, non-profits are big business. Canada is home to the second largest non-profit workforce in the world, employing two million paid staff and contributing $112 billion to our economy each year.

There is a lot of expertise in the sector.

It’s time to tell business what they have to learn from us!

We’re asking non-profit organizations: What is one piece of advice you have for the corporate sector?

THE PRIZE

If your idea is included in our top five you will win a copy of the book Five Good Ideas: Practical Strategies for Non-Profit Success (Coach House 2011) and have the opportunity to present it at a Five Good Ideas event focused on what corporations can learn from non-profits.

Benefits:

• Share your message with a range of stakeholders at a Five Good Ideas event
• A great opportunity to share knowledge and build networks
• Recognition on Maytree’s website and in publications
