Vantaggi
We do good work for the nonprofit sector and have tons of data that could be put to good use.
Svantaggi
Candid should be a powerhouse in the nonprofit sector, combining the data and people from Foundation Center and GuideStar. No wonder foundations dropped millions of dollars into funding the marriage and integration. Boy, were they wrong! The real Candid is a snapshot of the many things that go wrong in the sector. Well intentioned dollars sucked down into the black hole of executive management that literally know next to nothing about how to run a business. All we hear is talk of strategy and theories of change, etc. but nothing that makes sense to the people doing the work or the people buying/using the data. This place is run by a bunch of ivory tower fools. Pay special attention to some of the people with fancy degrees - they are the most out of touch with reality and overly pleased with their big words.
