The Texas Nonprofit Handbook  is the most up-to-date and useful publication for those starting a nonprofit or for those already operating one. This 445-page Handbook is based on the Pennsylvania Nonprofit Handbook,  originally published in 1992 with the help of more than two-dozen nonprofit executives and attorneys, and which was recently published in a 10th edition. Each easy-to-read chapter includes a synopsis, useful tips, and resources to obtain more information. This essential reference tool includes:

 

 

 

•    Information about current laws, court decisions, and regulations that apply to nonprofits in Texas

•    Practical advice on running a nonprofit, including chapters on grant-writing, communications, fundraising, quality management, insurance, lobbying, personnel, fiscal management, nonprofit ethics, and 21 other chapters

•    Information on applying for federal and Texas tax-exempt status

•    How to write effective grant applications

•    How to hire and fire

•    Internet resources for nonprofits

•    How to develop a strategic plan

•    How to plan for a program evaluation

 

 

 

"The Texas Nonprofit Handbook is a supurb compilation of nonprofit fundamentals all professional staff and volunteer leaders need to know to be effective and productive. Grobman presents it all in an easy to understand yet comprehensive fasion. There is much to mine within its covers for both new and experienced practitioners."
