Excellent review on an thought-provoking tome. With thirty years in the nonprofit sector, I’ve finally completely embraced this paradigm shift in metrics-based funding derived from a netroots generation. If your organization isn’t conducting cost-benefit analysis or capturing detailed data on your impact, shame on you. I do, however, question the lop-sided emphasis on global projects. Certainly seems to me the easy return on investment. Domestic issues are still here and we could use more definable progress like the results of Gates Foundation New York schools funding described in this book.
