Building a Sustainable Nonprofit: Practical and Field-Tested Strategies

By Marilyn L. Donnellan and Marilyn L. Donnellan MS

I vividly recall setting at my desk with my head in my hands one month on the job at my first nonprofit. I was overwhelmed. I was the only staff person. How could I possibly get everything done? There were only so many hours in the day. Meeting the demands of a board of directors just added to the sometimes-bewildering array of tasks.Thus began my odyssey to streamline and prioritize tasks to be efficient and productive. As I gradually moved to larger nonprofits over the next twenty-plus years, my collection of shortcuts, templates and ideas outgrew one filing cabinet, spilling into another. Now, after another twenty years as a trainer, consultant and author, I realize too often we are putting band-aids on our problems, hoping things will get better. We often miss the boat on implementing critical strategies for building capacity and long-term sustainability.This book will provide you with the strategies you and your nonprofit need to fulfill your mission far into the future, regardless of what is going on around you to detract and derail.
