This book is based on an important but complicated question: How
have nonprofit human service organizations sustained themselves
over time? It documents the organizational histories of pioneering
nonprofits that have unique missions and significant longevity - in
one case, 157 years. This volume provides one of the few documented
histories of nonprofit human service organizations and includes a
cross-case analysis of the major themes that help to expand our
understanding of organizational lifecycles with respect to
organizational growth and resilience. The major themes appear in
the form of clusters of organizations that are exemplars of:
leadership (experiences of either founding or long-term executive
directors); internal operations (capacity to respond to changing
community needs); and external relations (capacity to develop
unique and/or sustained relationships with funding sources and/or
donor populations). These cases also provide students of nonprofit
management with opportunities for case-based learning that
complements the more time-limited and episodic teaching cases which
rarely provide learners with a longitudinal perspective of
nonprofit organizations. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the Journal of Evidence-Based Social Work.
