"Doing Good Well is a thinking man's guide to the nonprofit world. It is replete with nonprofit paradigms. It provides a different twist to what one might regard as straightforward notions such as mission, staff compensation, governance and corporate social responsibility. And it surprises and challenges even as it seeks to explain charity-specific issues such as charitableness, bridging the rich/poor divide, informed giving and social entrepreneurship. Whether you are a volunteer, business executive, nonprofit worker, governor or regulator, it s time to start asking the questions that would help the charity sector itself change for the better. In Cheng's words, charity is no longer simply about 'Just Doing Good' but 'Doing Good Well.'"--Dustjacket.
