Nonprofit organizations who are just starting out rarely have large staff. In a majority of the cases, the staff they do have are wearing multiple hats, whether it's grant writing, managing the books, or interacting with clients. The roles they can't fill themselves, they outsource to professionals spending money that the organization might not have.

When businesses are created, the founder hires the necessary people to help his company thrive. He hires an accountant, a marketing director, a salesperson, IT help, etc. Founders of nonprofit organizations,  don't necessarily have the money to hire these professionals. Thus, they rely on volunteers who may not have the educational background or the experience to accomplish these tasks. That's where Aplos comes in.
