Thông tin sách: Reimagining Nonprofits and Philanthropy: Unlocking the Full Potential of a Vital and Complex Sector (Kindle, 288 trang) – Wiley, 2025. Ngôn ngữ: Tiếng Anh.

Forward-thinking solutions to the foundational problems plaguing the world of modern nonprofits

Going where many dare not, Reimagining Nonprofit and Philanthropy: Unlocking the Full Potential of a Vital and Complex Sector challenges existing sacred cows across a variety of issues relevant to nonprofit and philanthropy. Each chapter delves into a specific area of work (fundraising, boards, hiring, and so on), analyzes the challenges, and provides concrete solutions for change.

Written by Vu Le, former nonprofit executive and thought leader in the field, this book features leaders doing new things that go against the grain and is written in an easy-to-digest, oftentimes humorous tone. Readers will be left fired up, with their existing notions challenged, ready to flip over some tables and (figuratively) burn some systems down.

Le explores topics including:

• Scarcity, martyrdom, and learned helplessness, separating vision and mission, and “bizsplaining” to the corporate sector
• The folly of Robert's Rules of Order and reimagining governance through evolutionary and minimally-viable boards
• New leadership decision-making models, shifting away from the hierarchical model into a more distributed one

Reimagining Nonprofit and Philanthropy: Unlocking the Full Potential of a Vital and Complex Sector is an essential read for all nonprofit leaders, professionals, and donors who are looking to completely reimagine the way nonprofits think, operate, and make an impact.
