The Charismatic Organization: Eight Ways to Grow a Nonprofit that Builds Buzz, Delights Donors, and Energizes Employees

The authors offer a framework that allows organizations to go beyond quick fixes and fundraising strategies to a broader paradigm that encompasses community and organization building. What if every person involved with an organization was fully engaged and shared a common goal? What if the efforts of a relatively small ring of staff and board members were amplified by everyone touched by the organization, including current and former volunteers, staff, board members, clients, constituents, funders and supporters? That, the authors show, is the way a charismatic organization operates. The book provides numerous examples of how successful organizations have made this shift, as well as action steps that all organizations can take to perform better.

"In today's interdependent world, nonprofit organizations have more opportunity than ever before to make a difference in people's lives. Drawing upon their extensive experience in public service, Shirley Sagawa and Deborah Jospin identify the traits that give successful nonprofits the competitive edge they need to maximize their effectiveness and sustainability. The Charismatic Organization: Eight Ways to Grow a Nonprofit That Builds Buzz, Delights Donors, and Energizes Employees draws an authoritative blueprint for using social capital to transform good intentions into concrete results."- Former President Bill Clinton

Eight Ways to Grow a Nonprofit that Builds Buzz, Delights Donors, and Energizes Employees

Chapter One

Organizations with Charisma: An Introduction

In 1995, Eric Schwarz and Ned Rimer had an idea. They saw that children in their Boston community were failing and felt the frustration of local businesspeople who wanted to help but were unable to find an entry point into the schools. They also observed that while there seemed to be too little time in the school day to deal with much more than the basic subjects, the after-school hours for most children were unproductive, even risky. And they sensed a particular challenge for middle school students, especially low-income youth who were making the difficult transition into adolescence without the kinds of supports that their better-off counterparts took for granted. Out of these observations, Citizen Schools was born.

The concept was simple: Citizen Schools would organize educational after-school programs in middle schools serving low-income youth.
