Journeyman Survey of the Topic.......2007-02-24

I found the book useful, particularly for larger foundation type organizations with a mainstream charitable mission. Not as useful for smaller charities that do not have a large board of directors or advocacy\education types of nonprofits. I felt I got my money's worth, but had to read between the lines a bit to apply the information to my particular organization.

A useful introduction for the dreamer..........2003-02-17

I thought this was a great book for introducing the basic steps involved in starting a non-profit organization. It clarified some simple issues for me. I have ZERO experience in starting a non-profit organization and wanted to get an idea of what it takes to do so, and this book was a great starting point, although you will clearly want to move on to more "meaty" books if you actually get your organization off the ground. After a few hours, I had solid drafts of my mission statement, articles of incorporation, and bylaws, and I knew what I needed to do next. It might be too simplistic for large organizations, but it was perfect for my itty bitty dream!

Duh!.......2001-06-26

Talk about restating the obvious! The author reminds you that when you're about to hire somebody it would be a good idea to interview them rather than rely on their resume. Under the subtitle "goals" of the organization we are told that goals are the intended outcomes of what you intend to do. Gosh, that's a pithy insight! I should have known not to buy a book by an academic, as opposed to somebody who actually ran a non-profit in the real world!

Very informative.......1999-12-10

This book was extremely helpful. However, it was not as good as the book by Ted Nicholas. The information contained in this book is a valuable resource tool and should be an addition to your professional library-compliments the book by Nicholas extremely well.

Not an easy thing to do.......1999-08-22

I guess that when I bought this book I was looking for the quick and easy route to starting a non-profit. Well, this book sure didn't make it easy, and I resorted to working with some non-profit verterans to help me get started. There really is no easy way to start a non-profit, but this book could have been a little "nicer". You may want to look for a book more relevant to your state if you're not from Minestoa. However, it is very in-depth, if you have the time and energy.
