Marketing Nonprofit Programs and Services : Proven and Practical Strategies to Get More Customers, Members, and Donors by Douglas B. Herron If nonprofit managers reenvisioned their work as a series of marketing efforts—for example, determining market share and auditing the organization's market practices—nonprofits would be better serves, says Doug Herron, yet few nonprofit managers are trained to think in these terms. Drawing on thirty years of managing nonprofits and teaching workshops in the United States and Canada, Herron concludes that what nonprofit managers really want is smart, tried-and-true strategies. They are all here for the reading. ISBN: 0787903264

Marketing Social Change : Changing Behavior to Promote Health, Social Development, and the Environment by Alan R. Andreasen Offers a "revolutionary" approach to solving a range of social problems—drug use, smoking, unsafe sex, and overpopulation—by applying marketing techniques and concepts to change behavior. For example, it shows that at-risk teenagers are consumers who decide whether or not to ``buy'' safe sex practices. Shows that effective special change starts with a thorough understanding of the needs, wants, and perceptions of the target consumer—who has ultimate control over the outcomes.

The Nonprofits' Guide to Internet Communications Law by Bruce R.Hopkins Invaluable guidance on the most important legal issues facing nonprofits today Internet communication is the lifeblood of countless nonprofit organizations, yet there exists no specific law to provide for its regulation. Without solid legal guidance, nonprofits risk not only missing out on the unlimited opportunities that the Internet has to offer, but also jeopardizing their tax-exempt status. The Nonprofits’ Guide to Internet Communications Law analyzes and explains the laws applicable to Internet communications by nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit law expert Bruce Hopkins writes that with Congress and government agencies reluctant to create new law, it will ultimately be up to the courts to determine the future of Internet law affecting nonprofit organizations. Extrapolating from the underlying principles of existing law, Hopkins addresses the legal ramifications of Internet business activities, charitable-giving administration, fundraising programs, lobbying, political campaign activities, and more.
