Here’s what people said:

• Yes, we want to do away with referring to ourselves in the negative, particularly after learning that ‘non-profit’ means ‘non-progress’. (Ugh.)
• Yes, we agree with the key attributes, distinguishing characteristics and unique differentiators as captured in the Five Is. Some could do without intrepid, but overall, we’re good.
• Yes, we’re ready to find something new.
• No, I can’t see myself saying/writing iSector.

Even though I’m the iSector instigator, I concur with this last point. It feels a bit trendy, a tidge flashy, a little too Apple-esque.

So let’s name this thing together!

Below is a list of options that have been floated as alternatives to ‘non-profit’.

• For Cause (shout out to @Susan_Chavez on this one)
• For Mission
• Charitable Sector
• Community Benefit Sector (shout out to @HildyGottlieb on this one)
• Voluntary Sector
• Third Sector (brought to us by our friends in the U.K.)
• Unsectored
• Progress Sector (I’m personally kinda liking this one right now…)
• Social Good Sector
• Social Benefit Sector
• Social Impact Sector

Which do you like and why? Other suggestions?
