"To leaders and educators in the nonprofit sector, this edition takes the volume to a new level. The new chapters on accountability, finance, and social entrepreneurship are timely additions that bring even greater depth and value to this impressive collection. This is an essential book for every nonprofit leader's bookshelf."

"This handbook is a masterpiece of grounded scholarship about the nonprofit sector. No faddish jargon here but a strong, clear description of how things really work in this sector. I'm certain readers will find themselves, even years later, remembering this insight or that framework that helps make sense of even the most confounding and delicate of situations... and there are plenty of those to go around."
