International Fund Raising for Not-for-Profits.......2000-03-29
An absolutely indispensable guide to the complexities of international philanthropy. Alumni relations, corporate contributions and international organization pros should have this tome on their desks before writing next year's strategic plan. Yes it is expensive! But, it should both save you money and potentially make an enormous impact upon your mission. Although it is a growing field, (in which I am a practitioner) international fundraising has very few seasoned professionals. Wiley should be congratulated in selecting the best person imaginable for this daunting work-in-progress.
I found the definitions to be of value (although I do not always agree with some of the nuances) and quality of contributors to be first-rate. Sure, there a some weaknesses. But, as this is to be the first of several editions, it is bound to grow in value with each printing.

Book Description
A well-functioning budget process is more than a set of procedures—it provides a focus for the organization and management to analyze key financial and strategic issues. This invaluable reference addresses the fundamentals of managerial incentives, resource allocation, and practical ways in which these incentives can be managed to serve the strategic goals of the organization by taking an in-depth look at the principles of budgeting for not-for-profit organizations—higher education, charities and foundations, religious organizations, and hospitals and healthcare organizations.
Book Description
In this practical tour through the full budget cycle, Robert D. Vinter and Rhea K. Kish come to the aid of beleaguered administrators who -- in this demanding decade of the 80s -- are seeking to make sense of "all those numbers" and rules and to become more knowledgeable, skillful fiscal and program managers. Budgeting for Not-for-Profit Organizations provides how-to-do-it explanations of the budgeting and fiscal processes common to small and midsize nonprofit organizations, from government agencies to local community programs. Administrators at all levels of responsibility will benefit from this task-oriented description of budgeting procedures, which includes a wealth of case illustrations and practical exercises not found in other texts.
Vinter and Kish are well acquainted with the problems administrators currently face. Demystifying budget development, fiscal management, and cost analysis, they help program managers think about the integral connection between these procedures and program goals, development, and execution -- and to use resource management techniques as tools for accomplishing the objectives of their organizations.
The text moves from simple procedures to the more complex and demanding. Chapter 2 provides an introduction to budgeting and how it is carried out in contemporary agencies and programs. Chapter 3 details the steps leading up to the submission of a fully documented budget proposal. At the end of this chapter, Vinter and Kish introduce an illustrative service program and the first set of orchestrated exercises. Throughout the remaining text, readers solve the budget and fiscal tasks/problems of this program. This "hands on" learning allows readers to perform calculations with actual fiscal data, make choices for budget and program activities, justify decisions, remedy problems, and make proposals for change. Exhibits of fiscal forms and regulations further expose the reader to real-life situations.
Subsequent chapters of Budgeting for Not-for-Profit Organizations cover the allocation of budget resources, expense/revenue management, end-of-year cost analysis procedures, and the distribution of support costs. The final chapter reviews the entire year's program and fiscal experiences and relates them to planning for continuation budgeting and performance contracting.
Administrators working to improve operations and to contain or cut costs will find Budgeting for Not-for-Profit Organizations an invaluable resource. While other guides outline the nitty-gritty details of budgeting and reporting, this is the only text that emphasizes the critical interdependence among resource planning, management, analysis, and program objectives and results and how this interdependence may be successfully exploited.

Comprehensive.......2006-05-12
This is a fantastic resource for accountants entering into not-for-profit organizations for the first time or to review further for accountants wanting more clarity in their current management positions. This book covers everything and has excellent sections on accounting and reporting guidelines for the many entity types of not-for-profit organizations. Also has a chapter covering entities on public not-for-profit (GASB). This book truly is worth keeping in the office as a valuable resource.
midnight accounting help.......1999-12-07
Sometimes you may be serving on the board of a nonprofit group and discover that your funder requires GAAP. Well what is that. This book will help you understand the nonprofit world of accounting. This work has been a resource that I have turned to at midnight myself aand have recommended many times. At times it is a little technical. But it helps to use some "accounting" language in the next board or committee meeting that you will be discussing budgets or finalcial presentatons.
Also, I have used this as a guideline when I consulted a small group that needed help with internal controls.
This book is very valuable for Not-For-Profit Organizations.......1999-10-18
I felt this book was basically well written. It at times is a little too technical, but basically is easy to follow. I do find it an invaluable tool for reference information in the not-for-profit industry.
It is helpful to me........1999-05-25
It was lucky to find this book. I'm a college student. I am preparing to take a AICPA exam. The library of my college doesn't have enough books about Not-for-Profit Organization accounting. This book gives me friendly and detailed explanations. well, a shortness of this book is a tedious text, such as one color text, no graphic figures. I just worried about objective judgements, because I didn't study other Not-fot-Profit books. Anyway, this book makes me come to Not-for-Profit accounting more closely. I'd like to recommend this book.
