Nonprofit Management 101: A Complete and Practical Guide for Leaders and Professionals

We are always on the lookout for good advice on nonprofit management and I was happy to find out that Darian Rodriguez Heyman, former Executive Director of the Craigslist Foundation, was doing a book on the topic. The result is “Nonprofit Management 101: A Complete and Practical Guide for Leaders and Professionals” recently released and a must read!


There are lots of books in the non-profit field, but Darian Rodriguez Heyman has succeeded in showcasing expertise from leaders on the ground with practical advice. The depth of the topics are impressive: from Managing Organizations and People to Nonprofit Law and Finance, and fundraising, you should feel informed and empowered as a non profit leader after reading the book.

The Nonprofit Management 101: A Complete and Practical Guide for Leaders and Professionals offers practical and easy to implement tips from 50 leading experts – but who are they? Paul Hawken (our funder), Lynne Twist, Ami Dar, Kay Sprinkel Grace, Beth Kanter, David Fenton, David La Piana, Peter Brinckerhoff, Andrea McManus, Emmett Carson, Shelly Cryer, Jeanne Bell, Tori O’Neal-McElrath, Rick Aubry, Greg Baldwin, Michelle Nunn, Holly Ross, Bruce Hopkins, Virginia Gross, David Greco, Robert Glavin, Kim Hendler, Bob Harrington, Pamela Davis, James Weinberg, Cassie Scarano, Michael Watson, Nayantara Mehta, Nancy Chen, Marcia Avner, Jeannie Fox, Elliot Harmon, Jon Warnow, Joe Solomon, Steve Wright, Katya Andresen, Rebecca Higman, Kivi Leroux Miller, Nicci Noble, Sean Sullivan, Jay Aldous, Jennie Winton, Zach Hochstadt, Marika Holmgren, Lisa Chen, Emily Heard, Vernetta Walker, Vincent Hyman, and the late Bob Zimmerman.
