E-books

One day the phone rings and an old college friend on the other end says to you, "I'm concerned. Lately we've been getting job applicants at my factory who don't know how to read. I think something needs to be done in our community to make sure that we have a literate workforce. I'm interested in starting a nonprofit literacy organization. Would you like to help me and serve on the board?" Helping people to read sounds like a worthy cause, and you like the idea of doing something good for the community, so you say yes and show up at the first planning meeting. Thus begins the process of starting a nonprofit. With chapters covering topics ranging from "Should we start a nonprofit?" to "Questions Founding Boards Should Ask," readers will learn the nuts-and-bolts of launching a nonprofit. Those interested in starting a nonprofit will learn how to get started, and what are the typical roles and responsibilities of the founding board. This e-book provides a list of the ten basic responsibilities of nonprofit boards, sample job descriptions and suggested resources for building an effective nonprofit organization.  Edited by Janis Johnston.
