We all can think of organisations that were established by Christians that are no longer recognisably Christian. In Keeping Faith, the authors outline the key components of organisational faithfulness - that is, what is needed for Christian organisations to stay true to the way of Jesus. They argue that the old reliance on statements of faith, or a set of Christian values, is insufficient. What is needed is a robust organisational theology that inhabits the enterprise's structures, management, business policies, practices and relationships and is tailored to the purpose of the organisation.In this important book, you will find- a checklist to determine if your organisation is losing its faithfulness- an outline of some key components of organisational theology- examples, both positive and negative, of theological application in organisations- discussion questions for organisational reflection.With combined global experience in practical theology, running businesses and charities, and integrating faith and work, Judd, Swinton and Martin have created an important and essential book for every Christian organisation.

A Global Guidebook for Activism in the Age of Climate Chaos and Social InjusticeIn 1994, Patagonia invited representatives from 75 grassroots nonprofit organizations to gather and learn from active experts how to be more effective at what they do. Through this ongoing conference as well as years of funding these organizations, Patagonia has helped thousands of activists make the changes they envision for the world. In 2016, Patagonia publishedTools for Grassroots Activists,a compilation of presentations from the Tools conferences, accompanied by case studies and inspiring essays from environmental leaders. The world since then has changed in profound ways, and this new edition reflects the world we now occupy.Completely revisedTools to Save Our Home Planet: A Changemaker's Guidebook,captures the wisdom and best advice from activists in the field, creating a resource for any organization hoping to hone core skills.The lessons and examples it shares are as current, diverse, and global as the changemakers working around the world. At a high level, the book's structure echos an activist's journey. It begins with self-reflection, essays prompting readers to identify their purpose and clarify their cause. The focus shifts to the inner workings of an organization or campaign-how to create a communications strategy;organize people, and fundraise-before taking an outward look at creating momentum through mobilizing and events, using political tools, collaborating with other people and organizations, and taking legal action. The book culminates with a chapter all about movements: How combining purpose, effective organizations, and momentum can create a tidal wave that can change the world. A go-to resource for driving change, offering anyone who is passionate about environmental and social justice a timely and relevant resource to support their mission-aligned work, this book is intended for both those who are new to taking action and seasoned activists and community organizers who want to learn how others are finding success.The hope is that, like its predecessor, it will become dog-eared and scribbled in -- a reassuring and resourceful companion to the environmental and environmental justice movements.

Dieses Buch zeigt die Bedeutung von Nachhaltigkeit für den Nonprofit-Sektor sowie die Herausforderungen und Ansätze für ein zukunftsfähiges Management in diesem Bereich. Das Thema Nachhaltigkeit ist ein wesentlicher Treiber der Ausrichtung von Organisationen. Zum einen spielt der Begriff Nachhaltigkeit für Nonprofit-Organisationen (NPOs) selbst eine Rolle, denn auch sie verbrauchen Ressourcen und sind in der Pflicht, diese nachhaltig einzusetzen. NPOs sind somit gefordert, Nachhaltigkeit gesteuert und systematisch in den eigenen Prozessen und Strukturen zu verankern. Des Weiteren übernehmen NPOs in der Gesellschaft vielfach eine besondere Rolle als Vehikel einer Nachhaltigkeitstransition, aus der sich ein vieldimensionaler Anspruch eines nachhaltigen Managements für NPOs ergibt.Renommierte Beitragsautor*innen diskutieren aus einer transdisziplinären Perspektive die Kernfrage, wie sich NPOs gegenüber aktuellen Veränderungen verhalten und welche Ansatzpunkte für einnachhaltiges Management bereits existieren. Exemplarisch werden verschiedene Themengebiete und Handlungskonzepte aus dem Nonprofit-Sektor ¿ wie z.B. das Klimaschutz-, Personal-, Marketing-, IT-, Hochschul- oder Kulturmanagement ¿ herangezogen. Dieser Sammelband richtet sich an Expert*innen, Wissenschaftler*innen, Student*innen und Praktiker*innen verschiedenster Fachrichtungen mit dem Ziel, einen Einblick in das Thema der Nachhaltigkeit in Nonprofit-Organisationen zu geben.

"Andrew Carnegie wrote 'The Gospel of Wealth' in 1889, during the height of the Gilded Age, when 4,000 American families controlled almost as much wealth as the rest of the country combined. His essay laid the foundation for modern philanthropy. Today, we find ourselves in a new Gilded Age--defined by levels of inequality that surpass those of Carnegie's time. The widening chasm between the advantaged and the disadvantaged demands our immediate attention, Now is the time for a new Gospel of Wealth. In From Generosity to Justice: A New Gospel of Wealth, Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation, articulates a bold vision for philanthropy in the twenty-first century. With contributions from an array of thinkers, activists, and leaders including Ai-jen Poo, Laurene Powell Jobs, Kenneth Frazier, Carly Hare, and Elizabeth Alexander, Walker challenges and emboldens readers to consider philanthropy as a tool for achieving economic, social, and political justice. That task requires humility, moral courage, and an unwavering commitment to democratic values and institutions. It demands that all members of society recognize their own privilege and position, address the root causes of social ills, and seek out and listen to those who live amid and experience justice. What began in Carnegie's day as a manual for generosity is now reimagined as a guide that moves us closer to justice--a guide that helps each of us find a way to contribute. Justice is calling. It's time we answer"--Front jacket flap

Dieses Buch beschreibt, wie Non-Profit-Organisationen (NPOs) kommunizieren, was sie ausmacht, Erfolg signalisieren und Nachhaltigkeit zeigen, um Stakeholder davon zu überzeugen, wichtige Ressourcen bereitzustellen. Einen lohnenswerten Ansatz bieten Berichte zum intellektuellen Kapital. Auf der Grundlage empirischer Untersuchungen zeigt das Buch auf, welche Ressourcen für NPOs unverzichtbar sind, welche Anforderungen an Organisationen gestellt werden und welche Abhängigkeiten zwischen diesen Ressourcen und Anforderungen bestehen. Diese Erkenntnisse helfen gemeinnützigen Organisationen, die notwendigen Informationen bereitzustellen und dabei die Offenlegung auf ein Minimum zu beschränken, um mögliche Wettbewerbsvorteile nicht zu verschenken. Des Weiteren wird der Status quo der Offenlegung von IK in Deutschland dargestellt und ein theoretischer Rahmen für die Motivation von NPOs, Informationen über ihre IK offenzulegen, vorgestellt. Diese Ergebnisse bilden eine solide Grundlage für weitere Forschungen. Schließlich wird ein Rahmen für die Offenlegung von intellektuellem Kapital zur Unterstützung von Praktikern bereitgestellt.

Your association's members are real people - show them you are too. If your association is struggling with a lack of engagement - members multitasking during virtual meetings, passing up on volunteer opportunities, or not renewing - you're not alone. In a rapidly changing workplace landscape, many professional and trade organizations are seeking ways to stay relevant and keep their members actively involved. The good news is that engaging members does not have to be complicated, costly, or challenging. In Elevating Engagement, speaker and author Amanda Lea Kaiser invites you to become your association's Chief Experience Officer (CEO). You can take on this position immediately, whether you are already a CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of your organization, association staff, or someone who serves in a volunteer capacity. All you first need to do is put on your members' shoes and slip on their glasses, so that you can experience their journey with your association as they do. Not sure you're ready for this new role? Kaiser provides real-life case studies, tools, and exercises to help you transform your association's engagement in a way that is more personalized, responsive, and supportive. In a world governed by algorithms, your members need to feel seen, heard, and valued. They need the things they can't get from another digital platform, technology, or automated system. They need you!
