Ask the Experts: Vendor/Client Relationships, Part II

Does the nonprofit not know where that $1,000 gift from Vendor B is coming from? From Vendor B’s profits from dealing with them or other clients, of course!

While I admire their honesty in this (much better than to be lied to and told their service wasn’t up to par), I wish the client had been more honest and said, “Here’s what we want you to donate to us when we ask. Build that into your price schedule.”
