Grant Savvy Books: Managing the Nonprofit Organization



While this book isn't completely grant writing related, it has a great deal of information regarding the management of nonprofits and its fundraising activities. Drucker focuses on real-world examples about leadership, mission, volunteers and donor relationships. This approach to uncovering the order of nonprofit management is incredibly useful for anyone working for or with a nonprofit organization at a leadership level.

As a grant writer or fundraising consultant, it is imperative that you have a strong understanding of the nonprofit world, not just fundraising. Your ability to relate to a nonprofit client in terms of the "big picture" makes your contribution more meaningful than just taking on the task of writing a proposal.

This book is a fast read and the chapters are broken up by narrative, interviews and analysis. A big recommendation from Grant Savvy for this one! Enjoy!

~Cheers!
