This book presents a guide and toolkit for creating meaningful, long-term, and successful nonprofit partnerships. It guides nonprofit leaders in the creation of primary partnership models as collaboration, administrative consolidation, joint programming, and corporate merger/acquisition, and how to select the model best suited to their organization. Chapter I of the book discusses the state of the nonprofit social sector in the 21st century, and provides an overview of the health, status, and contributions of nonprofits in the United States. Capitalizing on the opportunities presented by the new human service paradigm will require nonprofit providers to adopt a new business model. Partnerships forged around program services are the pinnacle of contractual partnerships that do not require corporate change. Collaboration among nonprofits can take many forms, from coordinated programming to full-fledged mergers. The sixth chapter discusses joint venture case studies comprising their inceptions, launches, and life spans, with two ending in the termination of the venture and two ending in long-term sustainability. Nonprofit organizations, such as management corporations that offer administrative back-office support, usually provide financially and operationally feasible solutions. Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC) creates and sustains healthier communities using best practices to improve community health through direct service, partnership, innovation, policy, research, technical assistance, and a prepared work force. Chapter 8 looks at some nonprofit merger myths such as save administrative costs and job losses. One of the ways for nonprofit to grow is through strategic partnerships with other nonprofits. Chapter 9 focuses on a wide range of strategic partnerships.

This book provides leaders and managers of nonprofit organizations with theoretical and conceptual frameworks, approaches, and strategies that will enable them to manage organizations that are financially sustainable. The book aims to equip students and nonprofit leaders with the information and conceptual frameworks needed to do financial analyses, manage budgets, and conduct various operations for organizational and financial sustainability. People have a tendency to think of financial sustainability almost exclusively in financial terms. The book argues that financial sustainability involves both financial and nonfinancial facets. To that end it provides a systemic conceptual framework. The chapters are articulated around four sections. The first part introduces the concepts of nonprofit organizations and financial sustainability. The second part is about key aspects of organization and planning for sustainability in a nonprofit organization. The third part discusses issues that are vital to the financial sustainability of a nonprofit organization. The last part emphasizes the contributions of management and leadership practices to the financial sustainability of nonprofit organizations. The book may serve as an introductory textbook for future leaders of nonprofit organizations, as well as students in schools or programs of nonprofit leadership, human service leadership, social work, public and community health, organization management, public administration, education, and other similar fields.

It incorporates all 21 competencies and 126 practice behaviors from the Network on Social Work Management (
NSWM ) and nine competencies and 29 practice behaviors espoused by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE ) and can serve as a textbook for social work programs at the graduate level. The book has many unique features. It provides a comprehensive list of leadership and management competencies from theNSWM and theCSWE along with a list of competencies and practice behaviors. The book presents leadership and management competencies and practice behaviors each chapter along with cases, examples, and activities of how to use them in practice situations.

Central to this book are the concepts of social innovation and impact, contexts in which nonprofits are thinking differently to create high-impact and financially sustainable models. The book defines and discusses the competencies needed by leaders to lead and create change in the evolving nonprofit sector, and provides a framework for leadership within the nonprofit sector that takes theories and demonstrates how to put them into practice. It is vitally important that board members and nonprofit managers learn the basics of proper nonprofit fiscal management as well as ensure that their organization’s accounting and financial management are performed by experienced professionals. After introducing the basic concepts and outlining the need for transparency in accounting, the book discusses the evaluation of organizational impact and focuses on organizational effectiveness with regard to the ability to produce intended outcomes. The Due Diligence Framework for Scaling Initiatives is important to nonprofits that are looking to generate scaled impact as it serves as a self-assessment guide that will help determine an organization’s readiness for growth. Greater levels of funding will be directed to organizations next-generation nonprofits (next-gens) that can prove impact and take operations to scale. Innovations such as the retail-based convenient care clinics (CCCs) and the Apple iPad2, are also sustainable business models. The book also provides case studies that illustrate successful succession planning through leadership development; Ashoka Fellowship Program and Eisenhower Fellowships.

This book addresses the impact of a variety of service-learning arrangements on local communities and focuses on the experiences, both positive and negative, of the community organization. Integrating theoretical, historical, ethical, and practical frameworks, the book examines in depth such emerging models as global service learning, social entrepreneurship, and experiential philanthropy (EP). Understanding the historical rationale for campus-community partnership is critical for determining the future of community engagement. The engaged campus plays an important role in both maintaining and promoting civil society and fostering civic engagement among emerging adults. A growing body of research demonstrates that community-engaged learning opportunities involving authentic grant making can deepen students’ understanding of philanthropy’s role in our society and extend its benefits to the community. Colleges and universities have been offering EP courses since the late 1990s. The Students4Giving program provides a framework for philanthropic education emphasizing community-based knowledge with both grant making and fundraising dimensions. A growing body of research on the impact of EP courses has identified a variety of positive student learning outcomes. Community engagement is a dynamic multifacilitated, multistakeholder endeavor that makes impact measurements allusive. The book discusses the role of critical service learning as a backdrop for ethical engagement and aims to graft existing professional frameworks and theory as tools for guiding and reflecting practice in community engagement with the aim of minimizing ethics violations in the community. Community engagement presents a difficult duality; many students will participate in it to develop professional skills particularly within education, social work, and health professions.

Facilitative leadership is a fundamental skill for social workers, especially in macro practice situations. Identified roles in social work practice commonly include enabler, mediator, coordinator, manager, educator, analyst/evaluator, broker, facilitator, initiator, negotiator, and advocate. The skills required to fulfill these roles are called upon every day in work with clients and colleagues. The role of facilitative leader incorporates pieces from many of these roles. This book enables the reader to understand the concept of facilitative leadership, shows how it relates to the social work code of ethics, and clarifies the facilitative leader’s role and distinguishes it from a trainer, consultant, or chairperson. It explores the concepts of leadership and shows how they apply to social work in group process. The book demonstrates how to develop skills in performing facilitative leadership without sacrificing a stakeholder position and how to identify the phases of group development and their significance. It discusses communication and intervention techniques and their situational value to others who perform facilitative leadership tasks and enables to gain comfort and demonstrate competence in the use of group process techniques. The book also enables the reader to learn to be a facilitative leader of group process regardless of the formal role he/she has been assigned in the group.
