Q1. Describe the reasons why earned income is so important for the survival of today\'s nonprofits. Give examples of opportunities that exist for developing these new revenue streams.Nonprofits today are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer resources in the form of time and money.

The broader areas of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) serve as the foundation of client relationship management and analysis (Ravanas, 2007).
