Praise for Recession, Recovery, and Renewal
"This is a must-read for any professional working in the field of philanthropy today. Dr. Raymond cuts through the political rhetoric and breaks down what really happened in the Great Recession and the challenges and opportunities it has created for nonprofits in this shifting global economy. This insightful analysis provides nonprofits with practical advice for how to survive, and even thrive, in these turbulent times."
-Elizabeth A. Amery, Vice President of Development, Environmental Defense Fund
"Recession, Recovery, and Renewal: Long-Term Nonprofit Strategies for Rapid Economic Change is full of more detailed descriptions of the global mega-trends likely to affect our business, including north vs. south global economic development, public vs. private resource availability, investment vs. philanthropy capital formation, changing donor needs, commercial vs. social financial and cultural orientation, and more. Susan Raymond challenges every nonprofit leader to understand that these are no longer over-the-horizon challenges-they are here and now-and offers practical suggestions for how we can incorporate these into our planning efforts."
-John McGeehan, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Plan International USA
"The Great Recession left many nonprofits operating in unchartered territory. Luckily, they now have a guide. Susan Raymond's timely account helps nonprofit and philanthropic leaders make sense of the recent past and make plans for a more resilient future. By weaving together emerging trend lines across the private, public, and social sectors together with real-world case studies, Recession, Recovery, and Renewal: Long-Term Nonprofit Strategies for Rapid Economic Change separates the hype from the reality to help leaders make more informed decisions."
-Brian Walsh, Executive Director, Liquidnet for Good
