<P><B>THE AUTHORS</B></P> <p><b>Leslie R. Crutchfield</b> is an author, speaker, philanthropic and nonprofit adviser, and leading authority on scaling social innovation and high-impact philanthropy. She is a senior adviser with FSG Social Impact Consultants and coauthor of <i>Do More Than Give</i> from Jossey-Bass. <p><b>Heather McLeod Grant</b> is a consultant, author, speaker, and adviser to high-impact nonprofits and foundations. As a senior consultant at Monitor Institute, her work focuses on scaling social innovations and impact, leveraging networks for social change, and transforming large-scale legacy nonprofits. She also lectures at Stanford University and serves on several nonprofit advisory boards.
<p>Since the First Edition of <i>Forces for Good</i> was published in 2007 the world has changed significantly. The U.S. and global economies have essentially ground to a halt. Government cutbacks, reduced public support, and less money from corporations have challenged nonprofits like never before.</i></p> <p>In the original book, authors Crutchfield and McLeod Grant employed a rigorous research methodology to determine “what makes great nonprofits great?” They studied twelve nonprofits that have achieved extraordinary levels of impact—from Habitat for Humanity to the Heritage Foundation—and distilled six counterintuitive practices that these organizations use to change the world. This revised and updated edition of that bestselling book explores how the recent economic and social upheavals have impacted these noteworthy organizations. In addition, <i>Forces for Good</i> shows how the six practices have been applied successfully to small, local nonprofits. <p>Despite the enormous changes in the economic landscape, the authors’ recent research reaffirms the viability of the original six practices for scaling social impact. This updated book examines a proven framework that helps nonprofits shift from an organizational mind-set to a relational mind-set, from a more industrial era model of production, where the nonprofit produces goods and services for customers, to a networked model, where the nonprofit’s mission is to catalyze social change by inspiring others to action.</i> <p>If you are a nonprofit professional, an agent for social change, a dedicated volunteer, or a concerned donor, this book will serve as a manual for becoming a <i>force for good.</i> <p>Crutchfield and Grant are the coauthors of the first edition of <i>Forces for Good</i> from Jossey-Bass.
