This Week's Readings - Fitting Topic for White Paper

So, my white paper group had a conference call last week with the CEO of TAP (Tax Assistance Program) in Chicago to discuss hybrid-revenue models that might work for this organization, an NPO dedicated to providing innovative and free financial services to hardworking, low-income families. (See http://www.taxassistance.org/ for more info). They're currently reliant solely on grant money and one of the ideas that came up in our group de-brief of the conversation was partnering with H&R Block or other similar tax services. While we haven't quite figured out yet how the partnership might work, I think it's a great idea and hopefully we can flesh something out. Of course, the CEO might be a tough sell on this since he's very passionate about the cause and is not in the market for backlash from his clients or volunteers. Nevertheless, I think that if we carefully weighed the pro's and con's, we should be able to come up w/a model that will help TAP be more self-sufficient and thus, sustainable.
