People who view nonprofit organizations as social institutions portray nonprofit managers as ______.

A) leaders with strong business backgrounds
B) servants of society
C) capitalists
D) heroes

Nonprofit organizations are seen as socially responsible organizations that serve the community or some greater social purpose, so it follows that nonprofit managers are seen as servants of society. Choice A might be partially true, as nonprofit managers do need to be effective leaders, but having a strong business background is not necessarily a requirement. Choice C is not accurate as capitalism is primarily concerned with making profit, which is not the primary objective of nonprofit organizations. Choice D, while noble, is an exaggeration and not a typical portrayal of nonprofit managers.
