What can good-hearted nonprofit organizations do in the face of huge sometimes seemingly insurmountable social problems? It is easy to recognize the importance of civil society and social entrepreneurship and why it is a growing sector. Our world and communities today need the best efforts of nonprofit organizations to respond to today's challenges. Progress has also been made in some areas, thanks to the actions of both civil society and large agencies such as the UN. Nevertheless, the scale and complexity of the problems of the world today are only increasing - not least of which include extreme poverty, climate change, health care, archaic education systems, unjust economical and judicial systems, and who knows what epidemic challenges are around the corner? What are the best practices for nonprofits seeking to respond? Jim Collins has written business books like Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap ... and Others Don't (New York: HarperCollins, 2001) and with Jerry Porras, Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies (New York: HarperBusiness 1997), but what is it that make nonprofits "great" and lasting in what they attempt to do to make their communities and their world a better place?These are the questions that grab the imagination of coauthors Leslie R. Crutchfield and Heather McLeod Grant. Crutchfield is a senior advisor with Foundation Strategy Group and a respected authority on scaling social innovation and high-impact philanthropy, and lives in Washington DC. Grant is a senior consultant with Monitor Institute focusing on networking, transforming legacy organizations and scaling social innovations, and lives in the Bay Area. Both have MBA and AB degrees and serve as board members and contribute to the field through writing and speaking.
