Nonprofit executive directors have fewer funds and resources, more regulatory demands, and longer hours than their for-profit brethren. So what makes them get out of bed in the morning and do what they do? To get some answers, 15 Seattle-based nonprofit EDs from eight different sectors were interviewed about the fire in their belly. They discuss boards, racism, ageism, burnout, as well as the joys of working toward a mission they feel passionate about.This book is not a how-to about fundraising, grants, strategic planning, or board management, although many interviewees touch on those issues. Rather, the goal was to explore how to stay a nonprofit leader, not just be one. After all, what good is all that knowledge if burnout snuffs out their flame? Their insights are unvarnished and uncensored, and are a must-read for individuals interested in finding out if they have the right stuff to become a leader in one of the most important parts of our economy today.
