Diverse, vital and ever-growing in Australia, the NFP sector provides the organisational framework through which many of the most disadvantaged in the community receive access to services and support. Through this sector, hundreds of thousands of people are empowered to give expression to, and act upon, their shared values.
As such the NFP sector is a vehicle for citizen engagement and collective voice, and a provider of services in response to social, economic, environmental and cultural needs. Pressures, such as a changing composition, erosion of financial sustainability, the need to professionalise, and demographic trends affecting patterns of volunteering have put pressure on the NFP sector to innovate and grow in new directions.
Strategic Issues in the Not-for-Profit Sector considers the local and global drivers of change, as well as the industry, policy and community imperatives affecting NFP sustainability. The book provides a unique insight into not only the strategic issues, but also strategic responses emerging within the sector and draws on original Australian and comparative research to provide a spirited exploration of strategic issues facing NFP organisations.
Strategic Issues in the Not-for-Profit Sector brings together some of Australia’s leading and emerging researchers studying different aspects of the not-for-profit (NFP) sector, and highlights current changes in practice, policy development and research
