Format:Paperback
I was searching for something comprehensive yet approachable that covers the whole nonprofit world, soup-to-sorbet, so grabbed the newly released "Nonprofit Management 101: A Complete and Practical Guide For Nonprofit Leaders and Professionals". It's an amazingly good read, and assembles the best thinking from some of the best minds in the field. At 600 pages, but with big font and lots of text boxes and other attention grabbers, the book covers complex subjects with ease and clarity:
* Fundraising with individuals, foundations and companies
* Legal, financial, and human resource management
* Board and volunteer recruitment and engagement
* Social media and the effective use of technology
* Nonprofit career paths
* Lobbying and advocacy
There is something useful in here for even the most advanced non-profit'ers, I would think. I plan to recommend it to anyone who could use such a thing!

There are lots of books in the non-profit field, but Darian Rodriguez Heyman has succeeded in showcasing expertise from leaders on the ground with practical advice. The depth of the topics are impressive: from Managing Organizations and People to Nonprofit Law and Finance, and fundraising, you should feel informed and empowered as a non profit leader after reading the book.

As an Excecutive Director of a non profit, I have already applied some of the advices in the book, this is a must read!

Format:Paperback
This book draws from the experience of 50 thought leaders and change makers, including writing from Paul Hawken, Lynne Twist, Beth Kanter, Ami Dar, and Kay Sprinkel Grace. The list of contributors reads like a who's who of the non-profit world. Management of a non-profit organization can mean the difference between effective advocacy and social change programs, and failure. Therefore, it's tantamount for those running an organization or playing a critical role within an organization (fundraising, marketing, board management) to make good use of limited funds and other resources at their disposal. I have full confidence that the movement is furthered as a result of this book.

Read it and more effectively get on with the mission!
