This books challenges nonprofit leaders to re-examine their decision making processes and recalibrate how we think about mission impact and financial return. Jeanne, Jan, and Steve draw on their vast and well respected expertise in finance, strategy, governance and funding to offer us common language, process, analysis, and insights to help Boards and staff find objective balance in the ongoing subjective debate of impact vs. sustainability. They are not preachy or fluffy in their message. Rather, they pull together fairly complex topics in a simple way that engages nonprofit organizations in a values driven discussion that blends mission with strategic business planning.
