The nonprofit sector occupies a surprisingly large proportion of the US economy. In 2014 alone, nonprofits received over $250 billion in individual donations (foundations, in contrast, gave just over $50 billion). Yet this giant sector can be lacking in transparency . Data on nonprofits are often poorly collected, locked in proprietary formats, or in the hands of foundation grantmakers but not available to the general public. Worse, when individuals do evaluate charities with data, they often focus on factors like overhead or the fundraising ratio, which is at best only slightly beneficial and at worst irrelevant to what the beneficiaries actually want. Agora for Good , an ambitious Bay Area and NYC-based startup founded in 2014, is hoping to fix or ameliorate some of these problems. I sat down with Angela Rastegar Campbell , founder of Agora for Good, to discuss her plans for Agora, why she decided to found the company, and challenges that she sees for nonprofits down the line.
