This book examines the fundamental questions that challenge nonprofit leaders and define the inherent qualities of the Nonprofit Factor:

How can nonprofit leaders maximise the power of the Nonprofit Factor?
How does the Nonprofit Factor foster innovation and social change?
What is the current economic value of the Nonprofit Factor in the marketplace?
What are the ethical responsibilities related to the use of the Nonprofit Factor?

The book celebrates nonprofit organisations and the essential contributions they make to our society but also recognises that nonprofits can be more effective, innovative, collaborative and accountable in accomplishing their mission and communicating with stakeholders. The strategies detailed can help nonprofits face their major challenges—a decrease in government grants, escalating need and limited resources, competition from for-profit organisations, increased scrutiny and calls for greater accountability.
