The Five Life Stages of Nonprofit Organizations: Where You Are, Where You're Going, and What to Expect When You Get There

• Put problems in context. You'll learn which problems are typical for your stage of development, and which ones point to potential dangers.
• Effectively manage transitions from one stage to the next. You'll know where you're headed, so you can bring the organization into its next stage of growth. 
• Watch for the warning signs of decline and dissolution. 

This unique guide includes The Nonprofit Life Stage Assessment. The Assessment allows you to plot and understand your organization's "home stage" and gauge your progress in seven arenas of organization development—governance, staff leadership, finance, administrative systems, staffing, products and services, and marketing. 

This useful guide helps you understand where your organization is in its life and how to avoid unnecessary struggles and act on opportunities to boost your organization's development.
