Nonprofit Management: Principles and Practice by Michael J. Worth

The first comprehensive textbook written for the Nonprofit Management
course, covers such topics as the scope and structure of the nonprofit
sector, leadership of nonprofits, managing the nonprofit organization,
fundraising, nonprofit enterprise, financial management, collaborations
and mergers, nonprofit lobbying and advocacy, and international trends.
Written specifically for students, this text integrates research,
theory, and the practitioner literature and includes more than is found
in the more prescriptive, practitioner-oriented alternatives. Providing
an overview suitable for students enrolled in their first course in the
field, the book also includes cases and discussions of advanced issues
for those with experience.
