The U.S. and global economies have essentially ground to a halt. Government cutbacks, reduced public support, and less money from corporations have challenged nonprofits like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the original book, authors Crutchfield and McLeod Grant employed a rigorous research methodology to determine “what makes great nonprofits great?” They studied twelve nonprofits that have achieved extraordinary levels of impact—from Habitat for Humanity to the Heritage Foundation—and distilled six counterintuitive practices that these organizations use to change the world. This revised and updated edition of that bestselling book explores how the recent economic and social upheavals have impacted these noteworthy organizations. In addition, \u003ci\u003eForces for Good\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the six practices have been applied successfully to small, local nonprofits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the enormous changes in the economic landscape, the authors’ recent research reaffirms the viability of the original six practices for scaling social impact. This updated book examines a proven framework that helps nonprofits shift from an organizational mind-set to a relational mind-set, from a more industrial era model of production, where the nonprofit produces goods and services for customers, to a networked model, where the nonprofit’s mission is to catalyze social change by inspiring others to action. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are a nonprofit professional, an agent for social change, a dedicated volunteer, or a concerned donor, this book will serve as a manual for becoming a \u003ci\u003eforce for good.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrutchfield and Grant are the coauthors of the first edition of \u003ci\u003eForces for Good\u003c\/i\u003e from Jossey-Bass.
