Robert Eggers says nonprofit organizations need to change the way they operate. Through his experience in the sector -- from his early days a volunteer to the formation of his much lauded D.C. Central Kitchen, which distributes food to the needy -- Eggers says he's seen lots of waste, ineffectiveness and a lack of logic in nonprofit world.
