Publisher's Synopsis
A nonprofit is an organization that does not seek primarily to make a profit to distribute to shareholders or owners, but rather uses any money it takes in to further the non-profit's mission. Like any other business, a nonprofit requires a great deal of time, money, resources, and planning. A vision of what the nonprofit will seek to accomplish is the first step in creating a successful organization. To be operational, the nonprofit will require a great deal more work.
The purpose of this book is to act as a guide to effectively run a nonprofit organization, be it a charitable, fraternal, religious, amateur sports, civic, social, veteran, political, professional trade, or homeowner/condominium association. All of these organizations typically experience the same type of problems, such as leadership, organization, membership, attendance, finances, records management, excessive politics, or whatever. Sadly, most of this is unnecessary and can be avoided with a little patience, common sense, and some good old-fashioned management.
