Latest Book by Convergent Principal Tom Ralser

 
"I recommend Tom Ralser's ROI for Nonprofits as the essential read in this area. It's not near as dry as it sounds-it's actually kind of a fun read. No one else explains the difference between outputs and outcomes better than Tom."

ROI for Nonprofits

The realities of today's economic environment have required that nonprofits, and those professionals who raise money for them, make their case for support as strong as possible. Warm and fuzzy appeals that tug at the heart strings have met with limited success. Assuming that funding targets intuitively know the value of the good work being done is unrealistic. "Return on Investment-The Key to Nonprofit Sustainability" details the methods and processes that help nonprofits raise money in an environment that increasingly demands accountability, transparency, and results.



Nonprofits will derive a number of benefits:

  • Understand why moving from a charity mindset to an investment mindset is the future of nonprofit funding.
  • Recognize that true sustainability comes from demonstrating value to funders.
  • See real examples of how to demonstrate ROI from a wide spectrum of nonprofits.
