I chose this text because it seemed to be the best at covering all the topics I thought should be in a nonprofit management class in a way that was accessible both to students who had no nonprofit experience and students who did. I use it for a joint undergrad/grad class so it has to be useful for both groups. I've had nonprofit directors sit in on my class and they found it useful.

Nonprofit Management: Principles and Practice is a comprehensive, up-to-date survey of nonprofit management. If I were to purchase only one book on the subject, Worth's Nonprofit Management would be it - not only for the well-written and easily understandable coverage of the topic, but for the invaluable additional resources and links provided at the end of each chapter.
