"A good book for those who are curious about how successful nonprofits achieve their results. However, the book deliberately sidesteps any Social Impact Assessment (SIA), despite the fact that the authors clearly have the resources to do so. As such, we're left with good stories about successful nonprofits, but no way to measure their success. Though some of the author's lessons ("Make sure that your executive team stays with you for 20+ years") are not exactly easy to implement, the book has a lot of useful information and is worth the quick read."
"This is a must-read for anyone who works for a nonproft, for foundations and businesses that support nonprofits, and generally for the do-gooders in the world.
It identifies six common practices identified in 12 effective nonprofits that have had national impact. The group is diverse, ranging from Habitat for Humanity to the Heritage Foundation.
We are using it for our Board retreat in a few weeks. Highly recommended."
