This peer-reviewed edited volume provides strategies and practices for teaching nonprofit management theories and concepts in the context of the undergraduate, graduate, and online classroom environments. Each chapter discusses and summarizes pertinent theories and concepts with concrete examples of nonprofit management education courses. Concept discussions then follow up with exercises or simulations and various resources for instructors to apply in either physical or virtual classrooms. The majority of the chapters are connected to one or more core nonprofit curriculum areas as identified by the Nonprofit Academic Centers Council (NACC) curriculum guidelines. Instructors, faculty, and program directors of nonprofit management and philanthropy courses at undergraduate and graduate levels can use Teaching Nonprofit Management as a guide for teaching and for creating course syllabi. The book can also serve as a supplemental textbook, as it covers the core curricular areas identified by the NACC. Contributors include: S. Arsneault, J. Beneson, K.C. Bezboruah, T.K. Bryan, H.L. Carpenter, E.A. Castillo, L.P. Corbett, E.J. Dale, D.J. Hamann, J.A. Jones, L.-Y. Liu, D.P. Mason, L. McDougle, S.C. Mendel, L. Miltenberger, H.A. O'Connor, A. Schatteman, G.G. Shaker, C.C. Strawser, C.E. Suarez, S.K. Vaughan, P.C. Weber, M. Wooddell, J.A. Young

Corporate philanthropy is an attempt by for-profit organizations to improve social conditions, and over time, this activity is ubiquitous with a firm's financial performance and long-term goals. A for-profit organization's involvement in seemingly non-profit activities is, therefore, of significant interest for research. This study examines the decision-making process pertaining to the selection of nonprofit organizations for support. By applying case study methodology and through in-depth interviews of executives from corporations based in the North Texas region, the researcher studies the motivations for and the influences on giving decisions. While examining current philanthropic trends, the study is also prescriptive in terms of how nonprofits can better compete for limited funding opportunities. The study provides significant lessons for nonprofit managers and boards, intermediary organizations, research scholars and practitioners interested in philanthropic decision making and nonprofits.
