She said Fopros Rely on Private Investment

Fopros like when people give them seed money, start-up capital or growth capital. Depending on the state of the school, the money goes into the bank or is used to start a new program that will generate income of which a portion can be shaved off and returned to the investor.

Investors like to get money back and consequently keep an eye on the school to make sure they are doing smart things. The problem is sometimes investors know nothing about education but still want money no matter what. They are, after all, stock holders.

When investors give money to an institution, it also helps to build confidence for those operating the institution and for those attending.

The primary difference is that sooner or later, the investor wants their money back and with some sizeable interest whereas the donor is happy with the tax deduction and their name on a plaque somewhere on campus.

Fopros require performance...non-profits require skill in writing thank you notes.
