It explores the nature and extent of nonprofit activity in the United States, establishing key principles while noting the impact of economic, sociocultural, and technological trends. Special attention is given to the following:

  • The importance of the mission
  • Programs and services that make a difference
  • Staff and volunteer management
  • Effective board governance
