Do you want to become an exceptional nonprofit leader? You have a vision, you have a mission, and you have a burning desire to do good in the world. But that’s it. Starting a nonprofit seemed like the right thing to do but it hasn’t turned out to be that simple. Your skills are in driving social change, not in managing people, finding donors, and all the administrative headaches that come with running a business. But it’s ok. All of these challenges are solvable and shouldn’t hold you back from fulfilling your purpose.

The future of your nonprofit rests on successful fundraising: discover how to do it right. Being part of a nonprofit is one of the most inspiring and passionate lines of work someone can do. But as passionate as you are and as hard as you work, your nonprofit won’t be able to achieve its goals without enough funding. This is a struggle many nonprofits experience, and they end up wasting a lot of energy on ineffective strategies that just don’t seem to work. You need to understand the best practices out there that will help your organization access the funds it needs to keep going.

Every now and then, nonprofits partner up with government agencies, foundations, and other such organizations to carry out projects with potential to change lives, improve scientific understanding, or for artistic works. For you and your nonprofit, that means drafting a grant proposal. No matter how impressive your vision looks on paper, unless your proposal aligns with the goals of the organization you seek grants from, you’re bound to get rejected. The good news is, with Winning Grants, you’re only a few steps away from the secret to writing winning grants.

Since the 1950s, nonprofits have relied on impersonal outreach to inspire generosity from their donors. They leveraged direct mail, mass marketing, and event fundraising to drive donations. With the introduction of social media, smartphones, and a hyper-connected world, everything changed. The new normal for everyone became transparency, personalization, and a feeling of ever-present engagement. In addition, donors also had new levels of access to information to the causes they cared about. Unfortunately, as expectations evolved, nonprofit fundraisers failed to keep up.

Google gives nonprofit organizations $10,000 per month in free advertising through its Google Ad Grants program. And unlike most grants, Google's has an extremely quick application process and is very easy to get. So why do so few nonprofits participate in Google Ad Grants, and why do existing grantees struggle so much with maximizing its value to grow their organization? What's the catch?

Publisher's summary
What does an executive director actually do? And how can you lead your organization to a stronger place?
Nonprofit expert Erik Hanberg wrote The Little Book of Nonprofit Leadership to speak directly to executive directors of small (and very small) nonprofits who are asking these questions. EDs, especially at small nonprofits, tend to be dropped into the deep end of the pool with the expectation that they know how to swim. The Little Book of Nonprofit Leadership will be a welcome rescue line.
The first section covers the basics of the job, with many practical tips and big-picture questions. It dives deep on three essential areas that a nonprofit ED needs to master to help the organization flourish - program, people, and money. Section two leads an ED through the process of working with your board (including how to ask for a raise!).
Also included are special chapters covering specific challenges EDs of small nonprofits face, such as the best way to start your job as a new ED and a guide to being a part-time executive director.
Erik Hanberg has 20 years of nonprofit experience at organizations of all sizes. He's channeled that experience into his four little books for nonprofits, which together have sold tens of thousands of copies.
Critic reviews
"A wide-ranging and compelling explanation of what it takes to do a nonprofit executive director’s job well.... Hanberg is a highly engaging writer, and he shows himself to be adept at shifts in pacing that make for fluid reading—and which are generally rare in leadership-related books… A comprehensive guide to managing and leading a small nonprofit organization...."

The future of your nonprofit rests on successful fundraising: discover how to do it right. Being part of a nonprofit is one of the most inspiring and passionate lines of work someone can do. But as passionate as you are and as hard as you work, your nonprofit won’t be able to achieve its goals without enough funding. This is a struggle many nonprofits experience, and they end up wasting a lot of energy on ineffective strategies that just don’t seem to work. You need to understand the best practices out there that will help your organization access the funds it needs to keep going.

Erik Hanberg is not boring to listen to.
I was oddly captivated by the way the book was read. Maybe because he wrote it. Maybe because the book is not based on theories but his real-life experiences. Not sure, but I looked forward to listening to the book and I learned a ton. I have already listened to the Little Book of Boards which was equally knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Just about to start the Little Books of Likes and I figured why not write a review for a guy who really deserves it while it downloads? Nice work EH (lol, eh)

valuable and easy to follow
hoping to be a future non-profit executive director, I found the advice and explanations in this book to be especially valuable. I set the reading speed to 1.1X, and it was perfect. The performance, the reader, could not have been more articulate and well spoken.
