Editorial Review: Product Description
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.

Summary: Keep going back to it again and again for information
Date: 2008-08-09 - 
Comment: I read book before forming the Diabetes Hands Foundation, a nonprofit we formed in early 2008. All through the formation process and ever since then, I have found myself going back once and again to revisit passages in this book for confirmation of things I am unsure of: it keeps helping me find answers to just about any question I think of.
As a recent President of a nonprofit, I can only say good things about this book and would recommend it to people in charge of managing any nonprofit: the sooner you read it, the more you will learn before it is too late and you have made important mistakes.
Summary: Hands-on nonprofit

Comment: This is a great book that gives you an insight into every aspect of a nonprofit organization. It is easy to read and gives clear examples. Great for those who plan to create a nonprofit or those who already have, as well as those who wish to take a look into their inner workings.

Summary: The Go-To Guide

Comment: This book is used as a text in my Arts Administration class. Some of my classmates find the writing very dry but most of us agree that the straightforward and thorough advice given is this book is very useful. If only everyone involved in nonprofits could read this book, then we'd all be 'on the same page!' We all need to read it once and keep it on our shelves for reference!

Comment: As the Co-Founder of a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, I would recommend this book as a "must have" for all Board Members or for someone considering establishing a nonprofit organization. It is quite complete and also makes for a great primer about the structure of nonprofits.
