Introducing a refreshing new book about nonprofit organizations -- whether leading them, donating to them, serving on their boards or volunteering . . . called a "myth-buster."
and from the author
Marshall McNott spent 40 years as president, CEO and Executive Director of several nonprofit organizations, most serving the underprivileged and many that were faith-based. He led the successful startups of new 501(c)(3) nonprofits and raised millions of dollars for programs serving the poor. In his (non-fundraising) management positions in nonprofit organizations, he brought increased stability and respect to organizations, earning both an organizational and personal reputation for integrity.
Here's what others are saying about this book . . .
