Book description
"Everyone who cares about nonprofit organizations and their potential accomplishments-from journalists to sophisticated donors to foundation officials-should read this book. They'll surely be convinced that fundraising ratios and program expense ratios are a silly, useless, and even fraudulent way to compare "efficiency" across nonprofit organizations."- Stanford Social Innovation Review"What scales would our nonprofit organizations have to achieve to eradicate the great social problems that confront us, and how do our traditions and beliefs about charity stand in their way? Pallotta has elevated the questions we need to be asking. His book provocatively challenges traditional views of how charities should operate and provides a thought-provoking alternative."- Dr. David Ho, Time magazine's 1996 Man of the Year and director of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center"Pallotta has written the clearest and most articulate critique I have read of the system of values that our charities and other nonprofit organizations are supposed to follow. He explains in graphic detail how these values undercut what charities are trying to do and prevent them from accomplishing all that they might. Not everyone may agree with his position, but the nonprofit world will surely benefit from a vigorous discussion of his arguments." - Derek Bok, former president of Harvard University jQuery(function() { jQuery( "#tabs" ).tabs(); });
