About this item

Best practices for nonprofits for long-term success in a rapidly changing world. Building Smart Nonprofits: A Roadmap for Mission Success is a handbook of best practices nonprofits can use to improve sustainability - a book of knowledge and know-how distilled from interviews with over 60 industry leaders who are in the nonprofit trenches every day - as executives, leaders, board members, funders, publishers, and service providers. David J. O'Brien and Matthew D. Craig provide real-life examples of nonprofits deploying best practices and emerging industry trends - such as the rise of socially conscious investing - to position their organizations for the long term. Topics include, among others, funding models, impact investing, compensation, strategic restructuring, leadership, full-cost grantmaking, program evaluation, storytelling, and financing.
