We believe the world is a better place because of the nonprofit organizations shaping our communities.

The Difference Principle was founded for two reasons — first, to provide a home for the administrative functions of several sister organizations already in existence, and second, to create the ability for other high-performing nonprofit organizations to unburden themselves from the administrative requirements of their organization so as to focus solely on fulfilling their mission statements.

We are the parent organization under which a growing number of nonprofits thrive. Our job is administrative work, leaving the staff of our network organizations free to fulfill their agency’s mission, vision, and goals. We foster multi-faceted solutions to complex social problems through collaboration, shared resource deployment, and multi-disciplinary problem-solving strategies.

Within The Difference Principle, silos do not exist.
