An updated edition of a groundbreaking book on best practices
for nonprofits
What makes great nonprofits great? In the original book, authors
Crutchfield and Mc Leod Grant employed a rigorous research
methodology derived from for-profit books like Built to
Last. They studied 12 nonprofits that have achieved
extraordinary levels of impact–from Habitat for Humanity to
the Heritage Foundation–and distilled six counterintuitive
practices that these organizations use to change the world.
* Features a new introduction that explores the new context in
which nonprofits operate and the consequences for these
organizations
* Includes a new chapter on applying the Six Practices to small,
local nonprofits, including some examples of these
organizations
* Contains an update on the 12 organizations featured in the
original book–how they have fared, what they’ve learned, and
where they are now in their growth trajectory
This book has lessons for all readers interested in creating
significant social change, including nonprofit managers, donors,
and volunteers.
