40 Laws of Nonprofit Impact

Inspiring, provoking, ambitious, and practical, this groundbreaking bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in changing the world for the better - from the founder of Sparrow Nonprofit Solutions.

In the book that philanthropists, executive directors, and trustees have proclaimed "long-awaited" and "powerful," D. T. Timmerman distilled hundreds of years of the history of social impact into 40 essential laws by drawing from the enduring legacies of Martin Luther King Jr., Eunice Kennedy Shriver, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt and also from the lives of contemporary nonprofit leaders ranging from Wendy Kopp (Teach for America) to Peter Neufeld (The Innocence Project).

Some laws teach the need for clarity ("Law 2: Define the Win"), others teach practical nonprofit necessities ("Law 29: Keep It Legal"), and many commend the immortal truths of nonprofit leadership ("Law 19: Eat Last and Get Dirty"). Every law, though, has one thing in common: a passion for world-changing impact. Bold and beautifully written, The 40 Laws of Nonprofit Impact is ideal whether your aim is philanthropy, nonprofit management, or simply to understand the essence of purpose-driven leadership.
