Praise for Strategic Tools for Social Entrepreneurs
‘I search constantly for resources that can help provide insight
and guidance to take Teach For America to a higher level; Strategic
Tools for Social Entrepreneurs does this and more. The book takes
the best practices of for-profits and social enterprises and adapts
them to the needs of entrepreneurial, mission-driven nonprofits.
Strategic Tools for Social Entrepreneurs is a tremendous
contribution to social entrepreneurs and to the nonprofit
sector-many thanks to the authors for identifying this need and
filling it!’
