Starting and Running a Nonprofit Organization is a book for people who are forming new nonprofits; thinking about converting an informal, grassroots group into tax-exempt status; reorganizing an existing agency; or currently managing a nonprofit. It provides practical and basic how-to information on legal, tax, organizational, and other issues particular to nonprofits.
This book has everything you need to start a non-profit and can be used by someone with limited knowledge of the types of organizations available. This book can be used as a guide or a reference. Rules are well defined and samples are provided. There are many books on this subject this is one of the best. I bought other books on the subject and I can say you can't go wrong with this one.
Journeyman Survey of the Topic

I found the book useful, particularly for larger foundation type organizations with a mainstream charitable mission. Not as useful for smaller charities that do not have a large board of directors or advocacy\education types of nonprofits. I felt I got my money's worth, but had to read between the lines a bit to apply the information to my particular organization.
A useful introduction for the dreamer...

I thought this was a great book for introducing the basic steps involved in starting a non-profit organization. It clarified some simple issues for me. I have ZERO experience in starting a non-profit organization and wanted to get an idea of what it takes to do so, and this book was a great starting point, although you will clearly want to move on to more "meaty" books if you actually get your organization off the ground. After a few hours, I had solid drafts of my mission statement, articles of incorporation, and bylaws, and I knew what I needed to do next. It might be too simplistic for large organizations, but it was perfect for my itty bitty dream!
A great book for those wishing to start a nonprofit!

When I wanted to start my nonprofit organization, Finches With Wishes , I wanted a quick, easy refrence to navigating the legal and business aspect of starting a nonprofit. This book provided me with all the information necessary, and although we're up and running now, I still refer to this book quite frequently. A great buy!
