It really depends on their financial planning and business model. I did quite a bit of work for a non profit with a billion dollar+ purse and they had one of the best rates. Not all non profits struggle. It might be worth looking into their business filings, if available, to see how much they allocate to whatever budget your work comes under before compromising your offer.

As for me, yes I would take a cut of 10-15% to help a company who’s struggling if I believe what they’re doing is for a good cause and the numbers show it. I have a family and live in a fairly expensive city, so I can’t take a much bigger cut at this point in my life. But I’d like to be in that position sometime in the near future.
