The Future of Nonprofits combines twenty-first century innovations (social media, alternative currencies, digital channels) with enduring success strategies of the best nonprofits (hiring killer talent, structuring smart). Moreover, David and Randal lay out a formula for organizational innovation--the Holy Grail of the nonprofit world. This is the playbook every nonprofit soldier needs to make it in the Digital Age."--Beth Kanter, coauthor of The Networked Nonprofit"The Future of Nonprofits is a must-read for anyone looking to go beyond the status quo and instigate sustainable change in an organization. Moss and Neff translate decades of hard-earned experience into an action-oriented book. The rapid rate of change brought on by digital technology has rendered the word 'innovation' a broadly defined cliché.
