Nonprofit Nonsense & Common Sense, by Marshall McNott, offers advice and insight about fund raising and nonprofit leadership, gleaned from the author’s 40 years as an executive director of several charities. Nonprofit groups must “expect serious scrutiny for their privilege” of the tax benefits afforded them and their donors, Mr. McNott says. And so he aims to shed light on charity operations by discussing his own experiences as a leader and as a consultant. Thirteen chapters focus on topics like stewardship of donations, staying humble as an organization, “unconventional” fund-raising tactics, consulting, board and executive relations, and employee relations.
