10 Ways Candy Crush and Nonprofits Are Alike

I have been busy playing Candy Crush over the past couple of years.

There are many ways Candy Crush and nonprofits are alike. Here are 10 ways I came up with:

1. In Candy Crush, the goals for each level are not the same. This is just like how each campaign for a nonprofit has a different goal.


2. In Candy Crush, you might have to replay levels more than once to achieve the goal. This is just like how a nonprofit may not reach their goals right away and have to keep trying to reach them.


3. In Candy Crush, you feel accomplished after completing a level. This is just like how a nonprofit feels after having a successful campaign.


4. In Candy Crush, there are different strategies to complete levels. This is just like how nonprofits need different strategies to reach their goals.


5. In Candy Crush, you have bombs that you must clear before you get to 0. This is just like how a nonprofit has a certain amount of time to raise money for a campaign or get signatures for a petition.


6. In Candy Crush, you have to make enough points to pass a level. This is just like how a nonprofit has to raise enough money to make a difference.


7. In Candy Crush, not all levels of the same type (jelly, ingredients, order) are exactly the same. This is just like how nonprofits have types of supporters who are either volunteers or donors. Each volunteer and each donor are not exactly the same.


8. In Candy Crush, you have order levels where you have to collect different types of candies. Sometimes you have to create candy bombs, striped candies, and wrapped candies. This is just like how a nonprofit needs to create different content for their different audiences.


9. In Candy Crush, you can only play when you have lives. You run out of lives and have to wait for it to recharge. This is just like how a nonprofit collects item donations. Nonprofits may not have a big supply of items and they have to wait to have a bigger supply.


10. In Candy Crush Soda, you have to find the bears. This is just like how nonprofits have to find people to support their organization.
