Comments on: Best Practices for Nonprofit Excellence http://www.nonprofituniversityblog.org/2009/10/best-practices-for-nonprofit-excellence/ A blog for the business of nonprofits Tue, 22 Nov 2011 18:39:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Michael Clark http://www.nonprofituniversityblog.org/2009/10/best-practices-for-nonprofit-excellence/comment-page-1/#comment-2368 Michael Clark Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:49:34 +0000 http://www.nonprofituniversityblog.org/?p=215#comment-2368 Thank you for your positive words about our New York Times Company Nonprofit Excellence Awards program. We really appreciate your support of this approach to promoting and publicizing best practices by nonprofit managers and their boards. The main purpose of the program is to improve the actual management practices of nonprofits. Accordingly, we encourage all nonprofits to apply (including those with unclear mission statements). We wouldn’t want to disqualify any organization from participating in Part One based on less-than-stellar practices. We prefer to give them the constructive feedback and why their answers may be weak. This approach has proven to yield the most management improvements. The secondary purpose of the program is to showcase the best managed programs in the NYC area. In that regard, the Times and our collaborating organizations, as well as enthusiastic supporters such as yourself, are extremely helpful allies!
