Achieving Success in Nonprofit Organizations

This book is an essential tool to help you grow with your

nonprofit organization. Whether you are an executive director,

manager, board member, pastor, or key volunteer,

the details here will help you achieve so much more.

The four overarching areas of what the authors term a

“virtuous cycle in nonprofit organization success”—living

the mission, making good decisions, getting things done,

developing your team—emerged from literature searches,

focus groups, and surveys to discover objectively what

critical skills and knowledge are most useful to leaders of

nonprofit organizations.

Inside, experts contribute individual chapters in each of

these four areas. This book can be used as a reference for

specific skills and knowledge in any of these areas. It can

also be used as a text since it covers 16 specific chapters

within the four major sections and each chapter has a major

case study, assessment questions, and summaries of

key concepts.
