The thousands of organizations that comprise America's private
nonprofit sector represent a national treasure. Yet serious
pressures are altering the playing field on which nonprofits
operate, and many are responding in ways that may undermine their
popular support. Despite the significance of these developments,
little has been done to analyze and interpret them in a clear and
understandable way. Lester M. Salamon, a leading authority on the
nonprofit sector, has joined forces with more than a dozen other
experts and the Aspen Institute to produce this volume, an
integrated, authoritative assessment of the state of nonprofit
America and the key trends affecting its evolution. The book is
organized into three sections. The first summarizes critical trends
and issues; the second examines each of the sector's major
subsectors (e.g., health, education, social services, arts and
culture, international assistance, advocacy); the third focuses on
major cross-cutting trends and issues (commercialization, changing
government policy, accountability, and demographic and
technological imperatives). The Resilient Sector will be updated
every two years. It provides a basic sourcebook for sector leaders,
the press, public officials, and citizens concerned about the
future of America's nonprofit sector and eager to understand the
forces affecting it.
