I'm not running a nonprofit, but I do grant writing for nonprofit and public agencies (along with a few research / technical businesses) and contribute to a blog about grant writing: http://www.seliger.com/blog

Most nonprofits are actually struggling with the same thing businesses are: How do they use resources effectively? How can they take in more cash than they spend? How can they decide what services to offer? Nonprofits are more like businesses than most people think: http://seliger.com/2012/09/02/why-nonprofits-are-more-like-b...

One key difference in many respects is that businesses have customers or clients while nonprofits' principle customers or clients are actually funders, rather than service recipients, and that can create some odd incentives and behavior.
