When is comes to tackling the social problems of a community, there is no more effective player than the small, grassroots, nonprofit agency. The number of nonprofits has risen dramatically in recent years and so too has the need for capable, innovative managers and staff. Grassroots Organizations, Second Edition was written expressly to meet this need. It provides information on a broad range of functions that are crucial to the effective administration of small, nonprofit agencies. The blend of practical information and theoretical models was crafted with input from agency staff and management and refined through focus groups with students, academics, practitioners, and recipients of social services. The result is a book remarkably well suited to those in a growing number of professional programs.

"The book is valuable for professionals new to administration; the authors touch on almost all the facets needed to operate such an organization. While it is not a 'how to' book, it is easy to read, and has some practical information to guide a director--and much 'food for thought.'" -- Journal of Teaching in Social Work, Vol. 10, No. 1/2 [1994]
