Not all NFP's work with aspects of society where underlying needs are such
the NFP can simply 'solve the problems', and when finished, seek
obsolescence. Some of our largest NFP's provide disaster services -
volunteer fire, rescue and ambulatory organizations (St John's Ambulance,
the Salvation Army, Red Cross etc). The mission of these NFP's is not such
that obsolescence is possible. Disasters will always occur.  

Yet other NFP's are born in response to community needs not addressed by
Govt or other interests; by community's having no desire for Govt or
commercial intervention. These are self-help organizations formed in the
spirit of a 'cooperative' where obsolescence may be the least desirable
outcome.
