What makes great nonprofits great? Not large budgets, snazzy market¬ing, or excellent management. The answer upends conven¬tional wisdom: shift the focus from building an organization to building a movement. Be entre-preneurial, adaptive and externally oriented. Spend as much time working with institutions outside the boundaries of your organi¬zation as you do manag-ing internal operations. Try to fix problems and reform whole systems.

In presentations based on Forces for Good and its underlying research, Leslie Crutchfield offers practical guidance on how to improve the effectiveness of your nonprofit or evaluate the nonprofits you are inter¬ested in funding. Forces for Good was named a Top Ten Book of 2007 by The Economist.
