Now in its third edition, this volume provides an encyclopaedic account of all the key financial, legal, and managerial issues facing nonprofit executives. Organised into 20 detailed chapters, this comprehensive reference provides a firm grounding in the five fundamental pillars of effective nonprofit management: mission, money, marketing, management, and membership. It then shows managers and trustees how to strengthen operations in each of these vital areas ethically, legally, and efficiently.

The author about his book


The book is designed to be a comprehensive reference for those who want success as managers or trustees of any nonprofit entity no matter how sophisticated.
The back cover carries the evaluation of five prominent professors in nonprofit management at Harvard, Stanford, Chicago and Columbia universities. One sees the book as "...elegant, helpful, accessible, and most of all pragmatic."
One states that successful leadership in the nonprofit sector is "...no longer the domain for amateur idealists..." Another states that: "A sound knowledge of the rules of the game is increasingly important for nonprofit leaders in making strategic choices." Another advises: "This is a must for the bookshelf."
A conservative estimate is that at least 50 percent of this the 3rd edition is either completely new or significantly revised material.
This edition is also designed to be a quality textbook or training book. One of the five prominent academics says, "Bryce's fine and comprehensive book has become an indispensable resource for teachers and managers concerned with ensuring the effectiveness of nonprofit organizaions." Another says that: "It should also serve as a useful text for graduate courses in nonprofit management."
This book will work in a single or a multiple-course program. Where there is one course, the professor has the option of selecting any combination of the 19 chapters--giving vitality, breadth and currency to the course. It can also serve a capstone course. It can serve several different courses, classes or training workshops that can be carved out of the variety of self-contained chapters. In any event, the student will have a reference that will serve them as practitioners and the trainer will have flexibility.
As a reader, your comments will be highly valued.
