Bones: Excuse me, your gang can't fund the lobby for legalizing crystal meth.

T-Jam: On the contrary, Bones, we classify as a 501(c) nonprofit advocacy organization. We can fund whatever we wish provided we don't kick out dividends to investors.

Nonprofit Nod
When attending a training or conference, and whenever the speaker says something, the crowd nods knowingly and approvingly in unison.

It's a way to appear engaged without learning a god damn thing because nothing of substance is being offered.

The speaker goes on thinking he has made a difference, and the crowd goes home feeling like they are a part of something bigger.

Dan sat thru another wasted day at the conference. Realizing when he left, all that got accomplished was a handful of nonprofit nods to make everyone feel good.

She is a very passionate social entrepreneur who is always networking and thinking up new ideas. She is a good example that girls can do anything.

The life of a nonprofit girl looks glamorous with all the conferences and interviews, but behind the scenes, nonprofit girls have to work very hard.
