What Others Say
Not for beginners
The title and the fact that it's part of a series for entrepreneurs, by a guy who writes a lot of books for entrepreneurs, led me to believe that this would be a good book for someone who is starting out on the road to forming a nonprofit.
Not really. Maybe if you have previous business experience, or have started a business or nonprofit before. It does not go into nearly enough detail for people who have never done this before; often it will say "Do this" and I am left wondering exactly what "this" entails. The business and strategic plan models are much more targeted to existing nonprofits and are very difficult to use if you are at the beginning of the process with no funding, no staff, etc.
A much-needed guide from a for-profit perspective regarding the starting up of nonprofits!
Non Profits Made Easy is full of wonderful content. Each chapter is well-written and easy to read. What I liked the most about Non Profits Made Easy is how the author explains business plans and how to create a business plan for a not-for-profit organization. A nonprofit will function at its best if it has sound financial and organizational management. And Non Profits Made Easy certainly will help an organization's leadership achieve sound management.
