| Change the way you change the world. Join Leslie Crutchfield, co-author of Forces for Good, to learn how communities can come together to support the work of nonprofits and change the world. What makes great nonprofits great? Not large budgets, snazzy marketing, or excellent management. The answer upends conventional wisdom: shift the focus from building an organization to building a movement. Be entrepreneurial, adaptive and externally oriented. Spend as much time working with institutions outside the boundaries of your organization as you do managing internal operations. Try to fix problems and reform whole systems. Based on four years of research, surveys of 2,800 charity leaders and in-depth interviews of 60 leaders and experts, How can the community help? Forces for Good offers practical guidance on how nonprofits can become much stronger forces for social change, for both nonprofit leaders, businesses, public figures, and others invested in making our community a better place. |  Leslie Crutchfield is coauthor of the award-winning book Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Nonprofits, on how to maximize nonprofit effectiveness. Forces for Good was named one of The Economist’s Best Books of 2007. A seasoned nonprofit leader who has launched, led, funded, and advised top nonprofit and philanthropic groups, Leslie is a managing director of Ashoka, the world’s oldest and largest venture philanthropy group. |
