As nonprofit organizations face tough times, efficient and effective business management is essential for their survival. Now in a significantly revised and expanded Second Edition, this popular how-to book identifies and addresses the key areas of business for nonprofit organizations, from public relations and strategic planning to office management and the effective use of information technology.

In addition to practical, step-by-step guidance on such integral issues as board/staff relations, strategic communications, financial controls, and the all-important use of the Internet in communications and marketing, this updated edition features a refocused strategic planning chapter that presents an ongoing, organic form of planning and critical topics such as:

  • Strategic planning retreats
  • The board of directors’ role in daily operations
  • Developing new sources of revenue
  • Planning a publicity campaign and coordinating special conventions
  • Basic office management and information services
  • International marketing and membership promotion

Written by a team of experts from a management and consulting firm that uniquely focuses on nonprofit organizations, this invaluable book contains a wealth of hands-on advice and real-world examples that executives and managers of nonprofit organizations, volunteers, consultants, fund-raising professionals, boards of directors, and trustees can apply directly and immediately to their own organizations.

5.0 out of 5 stars If You're Looking for Great Advice, You'll Find it Here!, May 23, 2000
After reading several books and on-line articles on non-profit management, I have found this book to be one of the most helpful that you can find. It has everything from strategic planning, to board and staff relations. What a great book! Even with my years of experience in working with non-profit organizations I still found this book to be very helpful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for Volunteer Operated Non-Profits, February 18, 2009
By 
My sense is that this book is aimed at larger and more well funded non-profits than I have experienced. There are many references to "have the staff do it". The non profits that I have experienced and tried to help organize have had at most one staff person. Thus much of the advice is aimed at a different organization than these. For larger organizations (budget over $50,000) this book offers some helpful advice. I found the section on organizing meetings (or conventions) as being particularly helpful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reasonably good overview of business disciplines, February 21, 2010
By 
Mark Youngkin (Pickerington, Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Nonprofit Management (Hardcover)
This was a text for a graduate class in non-profit management. It was far better than the other text, and some chapters were very helpful. It would be better served as a reference book for an executive library than to read cover to cover.
