Dedication

For my parents Lee and Margot who welcomed me, for Jennifer my partner in life, for my daughters Sarah and Madeline who give me faith in the future…and for all of the incredible people doing the work every day.

—Mike Allison

I dedicate this third edition to my wife, Linda Van Sciver, who I believe personifies the values and beliefs of the nonprofit sector: a commitment to helping others; believing in the goodness of people and their capacity to grow and learn; and always striving to help make the world a better place.

—Jude Kaye
