Drawing on input from an advisory group of leading non-profit professionals, this text presents the broad framework and theoretical perspective underlying non-profit management practices. It contextualizes the framework and theories in terms of the changing socio-political conditions and expectations of key stakeholders of non-profit organizations. The theoretical background is coupled with practical information throughout the text. Chapters contain short cases, practical vignettes, the actual forms in use, and the pragmatic understanding of everyday practice. The book also provides best practices, practical tips, and lists of Internet resources for further study.
