organization seeking innovative, creative techniques to improve
their mission and better serve their communities.’

in partnership with two billion connected citizens.’

Power of Organizing Without Organizations
‘The Networked Nonprofit uniquely describes the
historical context and the current challenges that compel nonprofit
leaders to work in networked ways and offers easy steps to help
users exploit the potential of social media and ‘working
wikily.”
–Stephanie Mc Auliffe, director, organizational
effectiveness, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation
‘A must-read for nonprofit leaders who want to change their
organizations from the inside out by embracing the power of social
networks.’

their current limitations of understanding and find real-world
applications of technology to extend their mission.’

harness social media to kick butt and change the world.’

evangelist, Apple Inc.
‘URGENT! Read this book. Take notes. Take action. If you
work for a nonprofit, you don’t have to do every single thing these
seasoned authors have to share, but you certainly have to know what
you’re missing.’
–Seth Godin
