How is your book helping others?

The Generosity Crisis: The Case for Radical Connection to Solve Humanity’s Greatest Challenges, delivers a startling analysis of the changing nature of generosity in America and why its decline could herald the end of the modern nonprofit.

The Generosity Crisis has been published with the explicit goal of inspiring a different future. In a world fractured by crises of generosity, reciprocity and love, what would it take to launch a return to humankind’s inherent propensity toward interconnection?

Remarkable for the breadth and depth of its analysis, this ambitious book shows us that humanity’s best days may very well lie ahead; but only if we’re willing to rethink everything we think we know about connection.

Author:

Melisa F Galasso

How is your book helping others?

Nonprofit board members serve because they want to make an impact. They know their nonprofit must be financially healthy to do the most good. However, some of the best board members are not numbers people and even those with a business background often find nonprofit financials hard to decipher. Money Matters for Nonprofits was written to demystify nonprofit financial statements and accounting. Heather Blake, CFO of Girls on the Run International, "recommend[s] nonprofit board members, executive directors, or anyone that works with nonprofit finances read this book to deepen their understanding of nonprofit financial concepts and better equip themselves to deliver on their missions.” Empowering board members to better advise their organizations helps them to make an even greater difference in the world. As a professional trainer with a background in adult learning theory, Galasso makes complex topics easy to understand using relatable stories, simple diagrams, and real-world examples.
