Charities rely on donors more than businesses rely on investors. Once a business has gotten through the initial build-up, it should be able to sustain itself on re-invested profits or go out of business. Charities, on the other hand generally need to keep raising money.

Since fund-raising is more important to charities than to businesses, it makes sense to see charities innovating more in that area.
