5. What is Capital Structure? CS is the distribution, nature and magnitude of an organization’s assets.  CS exists in every nonprofit—no matter how small or young you may be.  CS always has an impact on mission, program and organizational capacity  CS is linked directly to the NFP’s underlying business which is distinct but clearly related to its programs  A healthy CS is hard to maintain due to restrictions on your assets.
