A visionary look at how nonprofit markets must restructure to better allocate funds and help high-performing organizations grow Candid and unflinching, this insightful book explains why the nonprofit sector must play a greater role in producing transformative social change and how capital market fragmentation prevents nonprofits from achieving the growth necessary to extend social and economic opportunity. Drawing on his extensive experience as a government economist and nonprofit strategist, author Steven Goldberg explains how a virtual nonprofit stock market could guide philanthropy based on performance and social impact. Steven H. Goldberg (Needham MA) is Chief Operating Officer at Cradles to Crayons, a Boston???based nonprofit that provides children's everyday essentials, and a Senior Fellow at Root Cause in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
STEVEN H. GOLDBERG has advised numerous nonprofits on strategic planning and organizational development, including New Profit Inc., one of the founders of venture philanthropy; and Cradles to Crayons, which provides "everyday essentials" such as gently used clothing, books, school supplies, and baby equipment to more than 40,000 poor and low-income children. He is a Senior Fellow at Root Cause, which accelerates enduring solutions to social and economic problems by supporting social innovators and educating social impact investors. Goldberg has nearly thirty years of experience in economics, law, government, and business management, most recently as executive vice president for Business Development and General Counsel at Imagitas, Inc. He coauthored Y2K Risk Management: Contingency Planning , Business Continuity and Avoiding Litigation (Wiley) and has written extensively about nonprofit capital market institutions.
