What People are Saying about Nonprofit-KnowHow

Nonprofit-KnowHow (The Guide and The Workbook) is a comprehensive manual for effective nonprofit management. In eight chapters, the foundational concepts of the nonprofit sector are addressed, such as the history of nonprofits, the nonprofit board, fundraising, finance, and strategic planning.

Author Rebecca Reynolds is a 20-year veteran of nonprofit work. This background comes through in her insightful explanation of essential nonprofit principles and in her clear application of them to everyday situations. All this comes to life in the samples, templates and other execution material provided in the workbook. While the content is thorough, the tone of the writing is accessible and engaging, making for not only a useful but enjoyable read.

What’s unique about Nonprofit-KnowHow is that it gives what’s essential about the range of subjects fundamental to managing a nonprofit. Reynolds thinks about the nonprofit sector broadly and is able to explain complex concepts in a way that makes sense and is empowering to the nonprofit.

As a new board member of a start-up nonprofit, I have found Nonprofit-KnowHow to be invaluable. The directness of its tone, the applicability of the topics, and the accessibility of the workbook material make it something I count on. We use it as a guide for our discussions on how to run effective board meetings, how to set up and think about our budget, and about our role as board members in general.

I was initially somewhat anxious about taking on a board position, but with the explanations and templates in Nonprofit-KnowHow, I feel confident about my ability to make a contribution to my nonprofit. Once we saw Nonprofit-KnowHow, there really wasn’t any other comparable book we could find easily and that had all the information we need in one place. Also, we don’t have the budget for a consultant, so, Nonprofit-KnowHow is an affordable way for us to get access to what we need to know.

We find ourselves coming back to Nonprofit-KnowHow over and over - when new board members start their terms, when a board member takes on a new officer position or heads up a new committee, and when we're ready to take the next step in our board development process. In all these situations, Nonprofit-KnowHow serves as our guide, as our touchstone for moving forward.

When I first became executive director, I bought a lot of books to help me figure out the job. But the only one I consistently turn back to, re-read, and share with my staff and board is Nonprofit-KnowHow. One of the best investments we've ever made.

Nonprofit-KnowHow is an informative read that holds our attention while conveying the most important elements of running a nonprofit organization. The addition of examples and templates make for an incredibly utilitarian resource, saving busy people’s time by giving us a starting point – whether for how to set up a budget, what to remember when writing grants, or how to evaluate board performance. Nonprofit-KnowHow gives a complete view of what it takes to run a nonprofit well, reminding us of fundamental and timeless principles that can get forgotten in the midst of the day-to-day. This resource will prove invaluable to anyone in the nonprofit world, whether on the board, staff or as a funder or service provider. Broad applicability is what makes Nonprofit-KnowHow so unique.

I have known the author, Rebecca Reynolds, for 25 years and have watched her work with hundreds of nonprofits of all kinds. From this experience, she developed the in-depth understanding and practical solutions that she shares in Nonprofit-KnowHow. This applied knowledge, proven in real situations and tempered by Rebecca’s esteem for the people and work of the nonprofit sector, makes Nonprofit-KnowHow a rare and valuable volume set.
