Book Preview: “Forces for Good”

“The Exploratorium has always seen itself as a museum without walls,” Crutchfield and McLeod Grant write. “Rather than simply shore up resources for its own organization, the Exploratorium actively helped other nonprofits copy its model.”

“Forces for Good” is a must-read not just for nonprofit managers, but for anyone interested in channeling their energies into changing the world.

As Steve Case, founder of America Online and Chairman of the Case Foundation, writes in the book’s foreword, “Whether you are in business, a nonprofit organization or government, whether you are a high school student or a grandparent, this book can have a profound impact on your ability to contribute to a more just and sustainable society.”
