This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent decades have seen a significant transformation of the not-for-profit (NFP) sector. This includes rise in the number of organisations and people employed, shift from charities and philanthropic agencies to hybrid social enterprise business models, competing stakeholder interests and increasing expectations regarding accountability and transparency. The role of NFPs has also become more complex – they not only serve the disadvantaged and fulfil social needs but also actively advocate for and implement public policies and promote social and economic inclusion. The growth and complexity has brought with it a need for innovative and entrepreneurial approaches to leadership that stems from an in-depth understanding of the changing nonprofit landscape. Addressing this need, for Not for Profits and Social Enterprises will help readers navigate extant challenges by drawing on conceptual literature, both theoretical and empirical and emphasising practical real world experience through case studies and vignettes The key aim of this book is to help existing and future NFP leaders at all organisational levels to support their organisations and employees and in turn clients and communities, through theoretical insights and practical approaches by focusing on transformational leadership aspects for contemporary Not for Profits. for Not for Profits and Social Enterprises is key reading for researchers, academics and policy makers in the areas of Non-profit Management, Leadership, Public Sector Management and Charity Management as well as related disciplines such as Philanthropy and Social Entrepreneurship.

Download or read book Billions of Drops in Millions of Buckets written by Steven H. Goldberg and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for BILLIONS OF DROPS in MILLIONS OF BUCKETS "Billions of Drops in Millions of Buckets provides a bracing and original look at philan-thropy that offers a much-needed corrective to conventional wisdom. Steve Goldberg combines a resolve to understand why so much philanthropy accomplishes so little enduring social change with a timely and serious proposal to reinvigorate nonprofit capital markets through the simplest of insights: getting more of the money to where it can do the most good. This book will change how forward-looking philanthropists, foundations, and policymakers think about the relationship between charitable giving and the transformative capacity of social entrepreneurs." —Jerr Boschee, founder and Executive Director, The Institute for Social Entrepreneurs; Visiting Professor of the Practice in Social Enterprise, Carnegie Mellon University "Goldberg's arguments are logical next steps in the rapidly evolving discussion of social capital markets. He offers ambitious proposals informed by the reality of current practices and focused on an achievable set of goals. He fully recognizes the potential for restructuring that is inherent in this time of financial hardship. Real change relies on big ideas, and Steve Goldberg offers us several." —Lucy Bernholz, author of Creating Philanthropic Capital Markets: The Deliberate Evolution "When I first heard about 'evidence-based medicine,' I thought: 'you mean it isn't?' Read this book and that's how you'll feel about 'performance-based philanthropy.' Goldberg takes some of the best current management thinking and applies it to social enterprise, illuminating both the encouraging successes of social entrepreneurs and the barriers they face. Even better, he presents compelling ideas for making the social sector vastly more effective." —Christopher Meyer, Chief Executive, Monitor Networks "Goldberg calls for more 'performance-driven philanthropy,' where nonprofits are rewarded based on their results, in place of the current dysfunction. It is an important call and a valuable contribution to discussions about how to improve nonprofits in the U.S. and internationally." —Martin Brookes, Chief Executive, New Philanthropy Capital "Billions of Drops... is a must-read romp through emerging fields of social entrepre-neurship and nonprofit capital markets." —George Overholser, founder and Managing Director, NFF Capital Partners

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Generosity Network is the essential guide to the art of activating resources of every kind behind any worthy cause. Philanthropist Jeff Walker and fund-raising expert Jennifer McCrea offer a fresh new perspective that can make the toughest challenges of nonprofit management and development less stressful, more rewarding—and even fun. Walker and McCrea show how traditional pre-scripted, money-centered, goal-oriented fund-raising techniques lead to anxiety and failure, while open-spirited, curiosity-driven, person-to-person connections lead to discovery, growth—and often amazing results. Through engrossing personal stories, a wealth of innovative suggestions, and inspiring examples, they show nonprofit leaders how to build a community of engaged partners who share a common passion and are eager to provide the resources needed to change the world—not just money, but also time, talents, personal networks, creative thinking, public support, and all the other forms of social capital that often seem scanty yet are really abundant, waiting to be uncovered and mobilized. Highly practical, motivating, and thought provoking, The Generosity Network is designed to energize and empower nonprofit leaders, managers, donors, board members, and other supporters. Whether you help run a multimillion-dollar global nonprofit or raise funds for a local scout troop, PTA, or other community organization, you’ll learn new approaches that will make your work more successful and enjoyable than ever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women & Philanthropy Women's philanthropy has led the way in virtually reinventing the world of fundraising and ways of giving. When women make a gift, are in a leadership position, or volunteer their time to a nonprofit or charitable organization, they tend to base their efforts on solid principles such as compassion, values, vision, and responsibility. Women are increasingly engaged in giving circles, global giving, transformative gifts, entrepreneurial giving, faith-based giving, family and couple giving, and social change gifts. Based on extensive interviews and the authors' combined half century of experience, Women and Philanthropy shares new ways to better engage women in giving, as well as insights into developing women leaders in the nonprofit arena, and advises women seeking to develop as philanthropic leaders and shape the future for the better. Women and Philanthropy explores women's philanthropic endeavors, offering a wealth of information on key topics such as how and why women give, what it takes to develop a gender-sensitive fundraising program, how to develop a strategic plan to involve women as leaders and donors, and suggestions for working with women of wealth.

Book excerpt: In The World We Want, Peter Karoff presents a collective vision of an ideal world. By sharing his experiences and through conversations with more than forty social entrepreneurs, activists, nonprofit leaders, and philanthropists who are changing notions of 'the human condition' in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and North America, he describes how new partnerships and approaches are reducing suffering and gaining greater equity for people everywhere. These visionaries are engaged in a struggle of sorts, and that conscious engagement_'the shoulder to the wheel'_is a fundamental part of the world they want. The book weaves together multi-sector, multidiscipline strategies, but_in large part_it is about the power of human connection, reinforced by personal stories of motivation and the human capacity for caring. Without ignoring the institutional and cultural obstacles, and the courage needed to face down the dark side of human behavior, Karoff shows how citizen engagement and open source solutions could tip the scale toward a better world.
Book Synopsis I Got Hit by a Taxi, But You Look Run Over by : Lisa M. Dietlin
Download or read book I Got Hit by a Taxi, But You Look Run Over written by Lisa M. Dietlin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would it take for you to change your life? What would you do to have a different type of day tomorrow - perhaps a day filled with happiness and joy? What would you give up to follow your dreams? What would have to happen for you to live a daily life filled with happiness and joy? These were questions I often pondered as I went through my work days often rushing from meeting to meeting and usually complaining that I wasn't having any fun...wondering when happiness and joy would settle into my life. Then it happened. I wasn't particularly looking for it to happen on that September night but the transformation occurred in the most unexpected way. I got hit by a taxi. Or should I say I got hit and then run over by a taxi. As a matter of fact, the cab that hit me was thought to have been traveling at 35 mph. Studies show that people hit at this speed have a 50/50 chance of survival. Another way of looking at it was that I was hit hard enough to blow me out of my Donald J. Pliner shoes. One of the shoes was found on the east side of the street next to the curb and the other was found on the west side of the street on the sidewalk. Many might think that with this type of accident I was sure to be hurt, bruised, bleeding or at least sporting scrapes and scratches the next day. But none of that happened and had no bearing on the cause of the transformation that took place in my life....the change that had me focusing on living a life of happiness and joy. Instead I heard a voice...a voice that shared with me the most important lesson I would ever learn in my life. I Got Hit By A Taxi, But You Look Run Over is the story of a life transformed in the most unexpected and surprising way. By reading this book, you will look at life differently and perhaps find your way to a life filled with happiness and joy.
Download or read book Leading Up written by Lilya Wagner and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-10-27 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundraisers at all levels discover the art of leading up Fundraisers know that in order to be successful in their demanding profession, they have to get things done. And to get things done, they need to exercise leadership from whatever rank or position they hold--often from the middle. This concept is called "leading up." Recognizing that all fundraisers must be leaders, Leading Up teaches professionals the skills and traits they need to be successful in their philanthropic roles. Leading Up centers around author Lilya Wagner's unique model, which exemplifies the concept of leading up. Here, fundraisers will discover: how to get things done when they're not in charge; how to motivate others when they don't have formal authority; how to convince or persuade their colleagues and superiors about their need for action and involvement; and how to lead when they're not recognized leaders by virtue of power or position. Focusing on problem-solving concepts, Leading Up is packed with thought provoking questions, exercises, and practical application steps that allow professionals to practice and implement the principles they've just learned. The book also includes inspirational quotes on leadership from recognized and successful professionals and leaders. Leadership qualities have to be learned and practiced by all who wish to achieve success in fundraising, whether boss or not. Leading Up provides readers with the groundwork they need to not only build up their causes and organizations, but also influence a professional field that is still developing.

Book Synopsis The Transformational Giving Playbook: The Definitive Guide for Nonprofits that Want to Exponentially Grow Their Revenue and Impact Through Six and Sev by : Lisa Scott
Download or read book The Transformational Giving Playbook: The Definitive Guide for Nonprofits that Want to Exponentially Grow Their Revenue and Impact Through Six and Sev written by Lisa Scott and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If your nonprofit is like most, you have a big, bold vision for the difference you want to make, the lives you want to touch, and the impact you want to have. But for too many organizations, incremental, stagnant, or even negative revenue growth, stands in the way. We, the team at Barker & Scott, set out to change this. We believe nonprofits are uniquely positioned to do the work no commercial enterprises or governmental bodies can do. Nonprofits are the most willing, committed, and intentional about solving the world's greatest and most intractable problems-like hunger and food insecurity, debilitating diseases like Alzheimer's, cancer, and multiple sclerosis, the damaging effects of systemic racism, the physical abuse of people and animals, and climate change. These are some of the most defining issues of our time and we need solutions to solve them NOW. But it takes money to do that. In the Transformational Giving Playbook, we show you how your nonprofit can move from incremental growth to exponential growth to achieve its mission. The Transformational Giving Playbook is a powerful step-by-step guide that shows you how to transform your impact by raising six and seven-figure gifts. It is a new comprehensive approach to fundraising that: Rallies the entire organization around a common set of values, goals, and leadership principles. Pairs the best of what our clients know about the art of fundraising with what we know about the science of fundraising. Puts the donor's motivations and aspirations, and not just the organization's mission, front and center. Makes everyone a winner. If you've struggled to raise more money to achieve your mission, the ONLY reason is that one or more of the key components of The Transformational Giving Playbook are either missing or incomplete. Get these components in place, and it will not only transform your impact, but your organization, your team, and your donors as well.
