• New discussions on creating movements for social change encourage nonprofit managers to move beyond service and advocacy to develop an understanding for the important role nonprofits have in advancing social movements.
• Expanded discussions on nonprofit ethics encourage dialog about ethical concerns in the nonprofit sector such as controversial donors, accountability, and performance.
• Chapters have been updated to consider the implications of new laws and policies, for example, those related to charitable giving and accountability.
• New data and research, drawn from both the scholarly and practitioner literatures, is incorporated at relevant points throughout the book.
