Recommended Books – Program Management
For-profits and nonprofits tends to use the term “program” differently. Nonprofits often refer to programs as the various different
sets of services they provide to meet community needs. For-profits often use the term to refer to a highly organized set of activities to accomplish
a certain — often internal — goal, for example, Employee Assistance Program to help employees in crisis or a quality management program. However, the
guidelines to carefully plan, operate and evaluate programs actually pertain to both types of organizations.

Field Guide to Nonprofit Program Design, Marketing and Evaluation- by Carter McNamara, published by Authenticity Consulting, LLC.
There are few books, if any, that explain how to carefully plan, organize and develop a nonprofit program.
Also, too many books completely separate the highly integrated activities of planning, marketing and evaluating programs.
This book integrates all three into a comprehensive, straightforward approach that anyone can follow in order to
provide high-quality programs with strong appeal to funders. Includes many online forms that can be downloaded.
Many materials in this Library topic are adapted from this book.
