Board development / governance
Books and articles about governance and board development
Democracy, community, & philanthropy
Some great books useful for work in the nonprofit / NGO sector. Some remind us of the role that the nonprofit sector and philanthropy play in building community and nurturing democracy.
Fund development: Asking
Includes face-to-face solicitation, direct mail, proposals, planned giving, etc.
Fund development: General
Books, publications, and articles that don't precisely fit into Fund development (relationship building) and Fund development (asking). Check out all the fund development lists.
Fund development: Relationship Building
Includes donor-centered communications, cultivation, etc. Also check out the marketing / communications list.
Leadership
So you want to be a leader? Maybe you already are? But what is leadership and what kind of leadership do you endorse and pursue?
Marketing & communications
What is fund development but really good relationship marketing? And donor-centered (or customer-centered) communications are essential. Check out the Fund Development list, too.
Organizational development
Yes, there really is a professional field called organizational development, affectionately known as OD. I use the term broadly - listing publications that didn't fit in one of my other categories.
Planning
Resources here focus, generally, on strategic and operational planning. For fund development planning, check the Fund Development list.
Politics, society & such
This is my personal ranting list... the magazines and books - maybe even DVDs - that commment on our society and politics and...
Social justice
Our world - including your communities and mine - are not particularly just. Social justice is tough, doesn't much exist...and yet, people have fought for it forever. So let's fight harder.
