"Because there is no nonprofit equivalent to the American Kennel Club, each nonprofit needs to figure out their own breed standard. This can be done by developing comparative benchmarks using data from other similar organizations Form 990s (www.guidestar.org). If a nonprofit doesn't know what a good set of financials looks like (aka what breed standards are) they are never going to achieve financial success."
