Nonprofit Management Simplified

Every executive director/CEO needs to oversee the effective implementation of the nonprofit’s programs, the essential core of its mission. Of course, the old saying 'no money, no mission' means that executive directors also need to ensure that the organization has sufficient funds to operate programs.  Nonprofit Management Simplified: Programs and Fundraising gives you the tools you need to ensure that both aspects of running the organization get their share of attention. You will learn not only how to implement programs and the fundraising that supports them, but also how to evaluate success in both these areas. And you will learn how to use marketing strategies to promote both your programs and your fundraising efforts.
