To elucidate the role of funders in nonprofit mergers and alliances, a multiple case study of the experience of five leaders and two consultants from a broad range of nonprofit organizations in Greater New Orleans will be the primary source of data for analysis. The technique of elite interviewing will be employed, to focus on the decision makers of key issues. Alexander Osterwalder's and Yves Pigneur's Business Model Canvas adapted for the nonprofit sector by Grant Smith; Jon Pratt's nonprofit revenue modeling; and Otto Scharmer's Theory U will provide a framework for analysis, the contention being that nonprofit leaders must (1) clearly understand their donor and revenue segmentation, (2) lead from the future by identifying the value proposition of and revenue requirements of the entity created through merger/alliance, and (3) effectively engage funders to maximize donor retention post-merger/alliance. A grounded theory will emerge regarding the absence of funder engagement as a potential impetus for donor attrition. Finally, a key finding will reveal a prioritization of institutional over individual funders by the leaders interviewed, creating, in turn, a potential area of focus for leadership in effectively engaging funders before, during, and after the merger/alliance process and in attracting revenue that promotes organizational stability.

Today's nonprofit organizations face an environment characterized by higher levels of competition for funding, clients and audiences, talent, and recognition. In addition, they confront greater pressures from donors, government, and the public to demonstrate efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, and accountability, while intense social needs and problems, as well as the desire for growth, drive them to expand their programs and activities. Collectively, these challenges go to the heart of fundamental issues of mission and strategy. Integrating Mission and Strategy for Nonprofit Organizations applies and adapts the core body of general management knowledge about mission, strategy, and execution to help nonprofit leaders deal with the special challenges they face. It strives to draw on this knowledge in a way that does not dilute or oversimplify, and at the same time recognizes the unique features of the nonprofit or voluntary sector. James A. Phills develops an action-oriented framework that combines rigorous analysis with the practical challenge of execution and change. In addition to helping nonprofit leaders think through important decisions and make concrete choices, the book also provides a shared language and a discipline that can serve as the basis for more productive discussions between the individuals who lead nonprofits, the business executives who serve on their boards, and the philanthropists who support their organizations and programs. This last objective is critical, because too often nonprofit leaders and board members complain that they can't reap the benefits of the expertise of their supporters, funders, and volunteers from the business sector. Phills suggests that this is often the result of an inability to speak the same language and draw on a common understanding of key concepts, such as competition, strategy, and vision.

Many of today's nonprofit health and human service organizations are developing coalitions, mergers, and other types of interorganizational alliances. These newly formed partnerships are created to gain a greater capacity within the organization and establish community-driven initiatives. While new strategies can enhance the scope and quality of organizations, they may also represent organizations own survival. Through well-developed examples, this book examines the formation and maintenance of strategic alliances. From the motives that lead organizations to form relationships, to practical tips on how to sustain, recreate, and end partnerships, this text is a useful reference for both beginners and seasoned practitioners.

In Managing at the Leading Edge, United Kingdom’s nonprofit expert Mike Hudson (a modern-day Alexis de Tocqueville) offers an outsider-looking-in guide to the management and governance of nonprofits in the United States. In this important book, he tackles three major questions: What are the leading-edge approaches to managing nonprofit organizations? What should managers and board members be doing differently to enhance the performance of their organizations? How can the impact of the nonprofit sector be significantly increased? Basing his interviews on face-to-face interviews with leading nonprofit CEOs, consultants, academics, and senior managers, Hudson shows what does and does not work in nonprofit organizations. He then distills the best practices from these organizations into practical advice and guidance. Managing at the Leading Edge presents Hudson’s thought-provoking, proven-in-practice agenda and shows nonprofit leaders how to Build capacity within their organizations Manage organizational performance Create strategic alliances, both within and outside the nonprofit sector Make the most of changing patterns of funding Develop effective, mission-focused leadership Strengthen governance and board performance Moving beyond “one-size-fits-all” advice, Hudson encourages readers to take what works for their nonprofits and modify it to create effective, significant organizations.
