    Nonprifit Management 101 : Acomplete and Practical Guide for Leaders and Professionals
    (Hoboken, New Jersey., 2019-09-29) Darian Rodriguez Heyman
    I want to start this book by saying that I’ve got a message for you– the person reading this who thinks that your nonprofit is simply not going to make it. The reader who believes your cause is too marginal, your vision too big. I want to talk directly to you and ask you to stay the course. Because we need you. When I started Bay Area Police Watch over 20 years ago, we had $10,000 and a closet as office space, literally. We went from opening up a hotline for survivors of police brutality and police misconduct to running a national organization that won international awards and recognition for our human rights efforts. Westopped jails from being built and got a horrible officer off of the street. And looking back on it, you know how we got there? A series of miracles: unexpected donations the day before we went broke, game-changing victories that propelled us forward after being on the brink of closure. But the only way we were able to get to those miracles was by persisting through alotof challenges and believing in what we were doing.
