‘Statement On The Purpose Of A Corporation’ Is An Exciting Development For Nonprofit Organizations Like IPaintMyMind

This is an astounding reversal of previous Roundtable purpose of a corporation statements, and the announcement is exciting for nonprofit organizations like IPaintMyMind. Corporations no longer have to believe that philanthropy rests at the lowly points of altruism and self-interest. Rather, opportunities to partner with nonprofits align directly within a corporation’s values. 

IPaintMyMind’s entrepreneurial nonprofit developmental model is a clear example of the mutual benefits and shared value that investment in community provides. A partnership with IPaintMyMind allows a corporation to simultaneously improve its office space and fund art exhibitions and programs for schools and kids in Chicago. 

It is encouraging that America’s corporations have recognized their role in society. The Business Roundtable began their statement of purpose by saying, “Americans deserve an economy that allows each person to succeed through hard work and creativity and to lead a life of meaning and dignity.” IPaintMyMind thinks so, too.
