    The State of Nonprofit America

     
    Where are we now in nonprofit America?
    3/3/2003
    After the September 11, 2001 attacks, nonprofits in the United States responded quickly, generously, and in full force. The strength of this response is based on America's sound nonprofit infrastructure, says Lester Salamon, former deputy associate director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and editor of this new work that looks closely at nonprofits' current and future direction. In The State of Nonprofit America, Salamon says nonprofits are pulled in too many directions and run the risk of losing their role as a force for change in society. Salamon argues for more systematic analysis of where, exactly, nonprofits are heading, so policy can be crafted to ensure their long-term viability. This is a thought-provoking analysis of an important sector of American business, and a wake-up call for those who would see nonprofits thrive in this century.
