Download or read book She Spot written by Lisa Witter and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2008-06-09 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide for nonprofits and social change organizations on how to tap the potential of the female market and why it helps. The secret to changing the world is hidden in plain sight. In fact, it’s half the population. Women vote more, volunteer more, and give to more charities than men do. They control over half of the total wealth in America. Corporations have long recognized the growing power of women and have been targeting them for years. The She Spot is a practical and provocative primer showing how nonprofits and social change organizations can do it too. Lisa Witter and Lisa Chen cite eye-opening research that reveals some surprising facts: women are less likely to trust politicians and politics as usual; African American women donate a larger percentage of their income to nonprofits than white women but get asked to give a lot less often; and in one poll only seven percent of women identified “protecting reproductive choice,” supposedly the women’s issue, as a top priority for Congress. Building on insights like these, they identify and describe four core principles—care, control, connect, and cultivate—for designing messages that will resonate with women of all ages and backgrounds. And using case histories from companies like Home Depot, T-Mobile, and Kellogg’s as well as nonprofits like MoveOn.org, the American Lung Association, and the Environmental Defense Fund, they explain precisely how to put these four principles into practice. This book makes the case that simply painting your marketing campaign “pink” and calling it a day will miss the mark with most women. Witter and Chen show that connecting with women can help you connect with men too—think both/and, not either/or. You’ll raise more money and recruit more supporters for your cause. In the end, those who hit the “She Spot” claim the power to create a better, brighter world for all of us. “Smart, engaging, and eminently useful, The She Spot puts its finger on how to score with the key drivers of social change: women.” —Arianna Huffington “The authors present their material efficiently and engagingly, tackling the motivation—both social and neurological—behind women’s contributions and interest, and the methods to appeal to them, from news media to online. Bolstered with helpful chapter takeaway lists and concrete examples of companies that have successfully reached the female audience, Witter and Chen have crafted a thoughtful, helpful guide to nonprofit marketers.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: Women are a strong force within the nonprofit sector, and organizations that do not harness this power will miss out on the sold foundation that can be offered by the majority of the country's population. Women approach philanthropy differently from men, and different generations of women seek altruistic development in dissimilar ways. Women give more than men of both their financial resources and time. Women value relationships and connections within their altruistic work. As women grow in leadership positions and share their charitable values with their children, they will lead the future of philanthropy.

The literature covers a variety of topics including pecuniary and nonpecuniary benefits of the sector, female psychology, industry choice, women's philanthropy, and the role of power. There is much more research to be done on this topic, but there is enough literature to suggest the importance of gender in defining the future of the nonprofit sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume, which grows out of a research project on women and philanthropy sponsored by the Center for the Study of Philanthropy at the City University of New York, expands our understanding of female beneficence in shaping diverse political cultures ... As in the United States, this activity often enabled women to create parallel power structures that resembled, but rarely replicated, the commercial and political arenas of men. From nuns who managed charitable and educational institutions to political activists demanding an end ot discriminatory practices against women and children, many of the women whose lives are documented in these pages claimed distinctive public roles through the nonprofit sphere. The authors are from Europe, the United States, Latin America, the Middle East, Egypt, India, and Asia. Their essays cover nations on every continent, representing a variety of political and religious systems ... The essays in this book illustrate the extent to which government, the market, and religion have shaped the role of female philanthropy and philanthropists in different national settings. By shifting the focus from organizations to donors and volunteers, they begin to assess the relative importance of each of these factors in creating opportunities for citizen participation, as well as the role of female philanthropy in opening a space for women in the public sphere"--From publisher's description.

Book Synopsis The Nonprofit Gender Leadership Gap: Data-driven Systemic and Inclusive Solutions by : Katya Alcaraz-Minnick
Download or read book The Nonprofit Gender Leadership Gap: Data-driven Systemic and Inclusive Solutions written by Katya Alcaraz-Minnick and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gender leadership gap has maintained its divide throughout world history. There have been positive advancements in gender leadership equity within the political arena and in the for-profit sector, however, it is within the nonprofit sector that the most progress has been made in collapsing the gender leadership gap. Women make up a large percentage of the nonprofit sector's workforce, so it would seem that the nonprofit sector is poised to lead the economic world to close the gender leadership gap and achieve equity within its top managerial ranks. Research on leadership theories relating to skills, traits, and styles will demonstrate how women and men differ in action and how these perceived differences can affect women in attaining top management positions. This project proposes that the nonprofit sector can be the influencing force to uplift women into positions of power, including C-suite, executive director, and general manager positions. Data-driven systemic and inclusive solutions can be formulated to support nonprofit organizations to take innovative steps to lean in and close the gender leadership gap. This research will ascertain existing barriers preventing women from rising to high level leadership positions, specifically in the nonprofit sector. By synthesizing secondary data obtained through meta-analysis, primary data analysis, and expert interviews, the goal is to produce a systemic and inclusive change model that nonprofit agencies can implement to diminish the inherent social biases fueling the gender leadership gap. This study can be the foundation for deeper research and discourse to transform cultural mindsets at organizational and societal levels beginning with the nonprofit sector.

Book Synopsis Nonprofit Governance by : Chris Cornforth
Download or read book Nonprofit Governance written by Chris Cornforth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current fashion for rolling back the state has seen the nonprofit or third sector playing an increasing role in what were previously the heartlands of the public sphere. The growing significance of the sector and its increasing reliance on public funds mean it has also attracted increased scrutiny. From outside the sector concerns have been raised about the accountability and performance of nonprofit organizations. From within the sector there has been considerable debate about whether the increased reliance on government contracts is in danger of undermining the sector’s independence. As a result the spotlight has fallen on governance arrangements and whether they are adequate to ensure that nonprofit organizations are effective and accountable for their actions, and able to retain their independence. This collection offers a comprehensive assessment of research on the governance of nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit governance research has been dominated by the study of boards of unitary organizations and has paid insufficient attention to the multi-level nature of governance, governance relationships and dynamics, and the contribution of actors other than board members, to governance processes. Drawing on the research of leading scholars in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, this book presents new perspectives on non-profit governance, which help to overcome these weaknesses. Written in an accessible manner the book will be of value to scholars, researchers, students, reflective practitioners and governance consultants and advisers.

The second volume addresses cultural and organizational issues, including global leadership to eliminate violence against women and international insights on women and transformational leadership. The subject of transformational leadership in viewed within several disciplines, including women's studies, religion, the public sector, and private sector, documenting how far women have advanced—and how their leadership style typically differs from that of men.
