In Search
of America's Best Nonprofits

This book reveals
what the leaders of many admired nonprofits have to say about their purpose,
and what America's leaders have to say about the organizations that attract
them most. It provides the average citizen with an understanding of what
makes a charity deserving of financial or volunteer support. And it also
explores the workings of America's third sector, a dimension of our economy
that produces 1.3 million jobs and generates more than 10 percent of the
gross national product. If you are someone who wants to make informed
choices before you contribute your time, talent, or money to a charity
you don't know well, this book will serve as an excellent guide that will
help you choose well. Toolkits throughout provide questions to ask and
sample letters for obtaining information, evaluating leadership, learning
about income generation, and finding out what it's like to work for an
organization. Hardcover, 218 pages, $26
