The Nonprofit Paradox

The Social Sector is full of good intentions, but with complicated systems, expectations, rules, and incentives. The Nonprofit Paradox explores the contradictions that shape the nonprofit sector, revealing how elements like funding, compliance, and donor relations both enable and limit change.

My name is Nehal Gandhi, and I am the author of The Nonprofit Paradox. I was inspired to write this book after watching USAID, the world’s largest aid agency, being dismantled in January 2025. This moment revealed just how fragile the nonprofits can be and made me rethink their role.
