Nonprofit leaders are
beginning to confront the most important unfinished business of their
sector. Having invented scores of successful model programs to address
virtually every type of social problem or goal, they are discovering
that large-scale, sustained impact remains elusive. Today, the only
way to get the full benefit of successful programs, however, is for
nonprofit leaders to begin building high performance organizations-
nonprofits that are capable of creating sustained, effective impact.
That requires reversing decades of under investment in the capacity
of nonprofits. A sector that has been indifferent, if not hostile, to
the needs of its organizations, where leaders are forced to manage upstream,
against countless obstacles, now needs to apply its ingenuity and passion
to the challenge of creating high performance organizations.

introduction of
High Performance Nonprofit Organizations
Christine W. Letts, William P. Ryan and Allen Grossman
As evidenced by the above
excerpt, the scope of the nonprofit world is changing rapidly. Many
nonprofit organizations would like to create a "sustained, effective
impact", but they do not know where to start. Thankfully, there
are a wealth of online resources available to help nonprofits in this
quest. These local and national
resource links will provide your organization with additional tools
to assist you in achieving your high performance goals.
