A Great Addition to Your Summer Reading List

If you are interested in the nonprofit field and managing to outcomes, then there is a new book on the market you should read. It is called Leap of Reason: Managing to Outcomes in an Era of Scarcity and it is written by Mario Morino. Here’s a review of it by our very own President & CEO, Ken Berger:

"This short book is a great starting point for understanding the importance of nonprofits managing to outcomes. It also has a great list of resources to take you further down the road, as well as a number of short chapters by some early adopters and experts in the field. You can get the book for just a couple of bucks”

The book also highlights the work of two of Charity Navigator’s friends – David Bonbright and Dr. Robert Penna. You may recall that Dr. Penna has also recently published a book on this topic, The Nonprofit Outcomes Toolbox (with a Foreword by Ken Berger). And David Bonbright, founder and Chief Executive of Keystone Accountability, is helping us develop methodology to rate charity’s reporting of results (CN 3.0).
