Harry Stone has 30 years experience in the voluntary sector and he wants to share his experience in a book. He also wants to reach as wide an audience as possible, so he is publishing the contents of the 200-page book on the Web – for free. You can read Aspects of Charity Management online or download the text in Word ’97 format.

Harry says the book was “written from hard-nosed, practical reality. Hardly surprisingly, it contains some unorthodox opinions.” He conducted some research for the book by interviewing former executives with for-profit companies who now worked for a charity. Harry says, “their experience in introducing commercial acumen to the voluntary sector provides, I believe, some of the most important aspects of the book.”
