The Nonprofit Crisis: Leadership Through the Culture Wars

Autor Greg Berman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 apr 2026
A bracing look at what's gone wrong in American nonprofits--and how it might be fixed.We rely on nonprofits every day to feed the hungry, care for the sick, and perform a host of other essential work, but American nonprofits have been under siege in recent years. Attacked by the left (for being part of the "nonprofit industrial complex") and the right (for advancing a "woke" agenda), nonprofits have also faced a serious threat from within: a rising generation of staffers who expect their employers to share their social justice convictions.In The Nonprofit Crisis, Greg Berman takes an in-depth look at the challenges faced by American nonprofits in the years since Donald Trump's first election. It highlights the very real problems that have plagued the nonprofit sector and shows how some organizations have lost their way during the culture wars. Berman, an award-winning nonprofit executive, argues that if nonprofit leaders cannot figure out a way to handle the challenges of racial justice, the generational divide, and political polarization effectively, we are doomed to a future of declining public trust in some of our most important American institutions. The Nonprofit Crisis offers nonprofits, and those that care about them, a way forward in trying times.

Recenzii

Berman provides the most holistic and practical treatment of the overarching task of nonprofit leadership since [Jim] Collins' 2005 [Good to Great and the Social Sectors]. His book is a timely and worthy successor, not least because it traces how the nonprofit world has subsequently fallen into disarray.
In his new book, [Greg Berman] shares his wisdom as to "lessons learned" and the traits that future nonprofit leadership should demonstrate to steward their organizations through "culture war strife" and toward a greater public trust.
There is much to love about Greg Berman's excellent new book "The Nonprofit Crisis": Bermans emphasis on the importance of nonprofits earning public trust, the challenges of polarization and politicization within the sector, and the imperative of civic organizations living up to their promises, among other things.
[Berman] offers incisive, cross-cutting critiques of the nonprofit sector, describing well-intentioned but disruptive 'younger employees actively revolting against leadership that they view as racist, sexist, autocratic, and out-of-touch.' He laments that because of their politicization, nonprofits have become 'both victims and purveyors of polarization.'... His overall worldview is not radical... His approach to problem-solving is thoughtful, realistic, and pragmatic, actively averse to the temptations of ideological purity tests or extremism.
Berman skillfully supports his arguments with a combination of stories about single nonprofits, taken mainly from the news media and academic arguments adapted from journals. Berman is not an academic and, thankfully, does not write like one, but his presentation of academic research is clear and accurate.
Practical, well balanced, and readable, The Nonprofit Crisis is recommended to all levels.
