Managing a Nonprofit Organization in the Twenty-First Century

by Thomas Wolf, Barbara Carter (Illustrator)

Since this classic work was originally published in 1984, there have been major shifts in the nonprofit world -- the growth of more profit-oriented ventures, the overhaul of accounting rules, new partnerships, and an emphasis on customer-oriented service and leadership. In easy-to-understand language, Thomas Wolf explains how to cope with these changes and deal with the traditional challenges of managing staff, trustees, and volunteers.

read for school, did not enjoy

Seems to be a good solid foundation to non-profit management from many different aspects. You could implement many of these procedures and have a fairly successful organization it would seem. It contains many tried and true methods, which is good but could also stifle creativity. So, I would supplement this book with something a more current as well.

[Joseph Serwach]

Good primer for someone entering the nonprofit field.

[Carmen]

A bit outdated but still very helpful reading as I enter grad school!

[Russell Watson]

A little dated but still a very complete view which includes every facet of managing a non-profit organization. Still worth adding to your collection.

[Tom Forbes]

Well written and comprehensive. I only wish that the legal and taxation references were Canadian.

[C]

Moderately helpful.

[Margaret]

This book was my absolutely indispensable "bible" when I was president of the board of a nonprofit.

[Nick Woodall]

A good primer on managing non-profits.

[Jason Das]

Way better than any other book I've found on the topic.

[Effendy Yahaya]

Good reference as a base for setting up NGO.
