The first A-to-Z reference to the hundreds of technical terms and phrases every nonprofit manager must know Now in Paper! Nonprofit organizations have been subjected to an immense amount of state and federal regulation over the past two decades. As a consequence anyone involved in the nonprofit sector must now be conversant with a vast and growing body of abstruse legal terms and concepts. Written by one of the nation's leading experts in nonprofit law, this is the first complete, authoritative guide to mastering that complicated language. Designed to help managers and fund-raising professionals successfully navigate the mine field of federal and state rules and regulations, it offers clear, concise definitions of nearly 2,000 important, often misunderstood law and tax terms—from deceptively simple words like charitable and expenses to complicated technical terms such as fragmentation rule and unrelated business income. A comprehensive guide to the terms and phrases nonprofit managers must master to effectively manage their organizations Covers all crucial areas, including tax exemption, tax planning and compliance, fund-raising, unrelated business and commercial operations, lobbying and other types of nonprofit advocacy, and more Designed for quick reference and fully cross referenced to other titles in the Wiley Nonprofit Law, Finance, and Management Series BRUCE R. HOPKINS (Washington, DC) is recognized as one of the nation's leading authorities on tax-exempt organizations. He has served as chairman of the Taxation Section of the American Bar Association's Committee on Exempt Organizations.

A focused, invaluable guide to nonprofit legal terminology and definitions The Bruce R. Hopkins Nonprofit Law Dictionary is a thorough professional reference for the terminology and definitions surrounding the law of tax-exempt organizations. Author Bruce R. Hopkins, the country's leading expert in nonprofit law, draws upon 45 years of practice to deliver a true dictionary reference for attorneys specializing in nonprofit law and tax law. The book's terminology and definitions are derived from constantly changing statutes, government agency regulations and rulings, court opinions, and government forms and instructions, with citations provided where appropriate. Modeled after a conventional dictionary, this book offers quick navigation to the information of interest, and points you toward the other Hopkins guides that provide more in-depth information should you require it. The devil is in the details, and nowhere is that statement truer than in the legal profession. Incorrect interpretation of a single phrase can cause consequences for both client and attorney, and verbiage may be intentionally vague with unexpectedly broad or narrow definitions. This guide gives you the most commonly accepted interpretations of terminology related specifically to nonprofit law, so you can feel confident in the quality of service you provide to your clients. Stay up to date on the latest in nonprofit law Confirm the accepted definitions of legal terms and phrases Learn where to turn for deeper guidance on specific topics Gain expert insight into obscure and complex definitions Stop spending time wading through textbooks and case law, only to wonder whether or not the information you eventually found applies to nonprofit law in the same way. Focused specifically on the law as it applies to the nonprofit sector, the Bruce R. Hopkins Nonprofit Law Dictionary is an indispensable reference that gives you the information you need quickly and easily.

Unlike many other areas of no-for-profit management, fund raising has no direct corollary in the for-profit sector. While it draws upon the strategies and techniques of the business world, it invariably applies them in significantly different ways because it draws its impetus from philanthropy, public service, and donors' charitable intent. Consequently, over the years, fund raising has developed a distinct vocabulary all its own. Among the thousands of terms common to the fund-raising vocabulary are those drawn from regulatory agencies, such as the Internal Revenue Service, Financial Account-ing Standards Board, Congress, and other legal bodies. Others come from various segments of the corporate community, including finance, banking, estate planning, organizational management, marketing, public relations, and sales. In many cases, these terms have been altered to fit the unique requirements and goals of charitable fund raising. Until now, no reference source provided fund-raising professionals with access to widely accepted, consistent meanings of key terms and concepts common to the philanthropic setting. The NSFRE Fund-Raising Dictionary does just that. The only complete reference of its kind, The NSFRE Fund-Raising Dictionary offers instant access to nearly 1,400 essential fund-raising and not-for-profit terms. It is fully cross-referenced and includes terms used by fund-raising professionals throughout the English-speaking world. The definitive culmination of a project that began twenty-five years ago by members, staff, and consultants from the National Society of Fund Raising Executives and other professional associations, this concise, comprehensive guide reflects the latest trends in this rapidly expanding field. It is the only dictionary that provides definitions exclusively from the fund-raising perspective. The NSFRE Fund-Raising Dictionary is an indispensable tool for all fund-raising and not-for-profit professionals. It provides fund raisers, not-for-profit executives, board members, and consultants from diverse backgrounds with a standardized, shared vocabulary. The only comprehensive professional reference guide that presents definitions exclusively from the fund-raising perspective, The NSFRE Fund-Raising Dictionary has evolved and been refined over the past twenty-five years by experts from the National Society of Fund Raising Executives. An indispensable tool for fund-raising professionals, it provides quick access to complete, in-depth definitions of such key terms as centralized fund raising, donative intent, gift-tax exclusion, growth endowment, multiple ask, sleeper, solicitor, temporarily restricted gift, and hundreds of others. The NSFRE Fund-Raising Dictionary: Defines nearly 1,400 fund-raising terms and concepts Provides complete cross-referencing for all entries Covers terms used by fund-raising professionals throughout the English-speaking world Includes terms from accounting and finance, marketing and public relations, banking, law, tax and estate planning, and more Thoroughly reviewed by colleagues in related organizations, including the American Association of Fund-Raising Counsel (AAFRC), Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), National Catholic Development Conference (NCDC), and the National Committee on Planned Giving (NCPG) "A primary reason for developing The NSFRE Fund-Raising Dictionary is to demystify fund raising so that donors feel great trust and the public better understands the process. . . . An additional reason is to begin to identify a set of terms this very diversified field can use commonly." —From the Foreword by Patricia F. Lewis, President and CEO, National Society of Fund Raising Executives

The foundations of volunteering, charitable giving, voluntary associations, voluntary agencies, and other aspects of the Voluntary Nonprofit Sector (VNPS) collectively and individual voluntary action lie in various aspects of human nature and human societies. These may be referred to variously as altruism, morality, ethics, virtue, kindness, generosity, cooperation, social solidarity, and prosociality. Such foundations of the VNPS, and specifically of social solidarity and prosociality, are the subjects of this literature review article/book. The central goal here is to provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary theoretical framework for understanding, explaining, and predicting such phenomena, based on two versions of the author’s S-Theory.
