Development is an appropriate term for describing the essential function
which sustains most nonprofit, contribution-reliant institutions. To develop
is to activate or to grow; the development function is concerned with promoting
growth. Often, in the context of the nonprofit organization, development
is considered to be synonymous with fund raising; the function is seen
exclusively as one of raising money. Actually, the development function is
much more inclusive. Fund raising is the result of development, not the
essence.
