The Nonprofit Manifesto: A Strategic Roadmap to the Business of Nonprofits

By Nancy Batterman

Nonprofits are built on passion. Whether it's feeding families, providing shelter, or advocating for change, the work of a nonprofit is rooted in a deep commitment to making the world a better place. But as inspiring as that mission may be, it's not enough to sustain an organization. If you're a nonprofit leader who feels burned out trying to pay salaries, keep the lights on, and create long-term impact, you're not alone.

That's where strategic planning comes in. Many nonprofit leaders struggle to translate business-level strategic thinking to the unique needs of the nonprofit world-but running a nonprofit is running a business, and it's time to treat it that way.

In The Nonprofit Manifesto, Nancy Batterman offers a powerful, practical guide for nonprofit leaders who are ready to stop surviving and start thriving. Inside, you'll discover how to:

Solve persistent people issues and build a strong, energized teamCreate strategic plans that actually get implementedUnderstand your finances like a business leaderDiversify funding and strengthen your organization for the long haul

No matter where your organization is today-whether you're just starting out or looking to break through a period of stagnation-The Nonprofit Manifesto is the ultimate guide to building a nonprofit that is not only mission-driven but also well-run, financially stable, and positioned for growth, longevity, and impact.
