When you envision nonprofit organizations, you may imagine bare-bones operations, little money flowing through the orga- nization, and poor working conditions for employees more dedicated to a cause than to their careers. The Rainforest Alliance, a highly recognized nonprofit organization that pro- motes biodiversity and sustainability, defies this stereotype. In fact, the company works hard to ensure a positive work- place. With 35,000 members and supporters and an annual budget of more than $30 million, the Rainforest Alliance has been fighting globally for the environment and communities since 1987 by working to change business practices and con- sumer behavior. An organization such the Rainforest Alliance requires dedicated employees; therefore, the company pro- motes a motivational, encouraging work environment.
