Trade Review“More than any other book, the 2016 edition of Nonprofits and Government by Boris and Steuerle is today’s Bible of U.S. matters nonprofit and philanthropic. It not only provides up-to-date data on all important aspects of America’s Civic Sector, but it does so in reader-friendly, easily understandable prose. Moreover, it adds to and updates the figures presented in earlier editions in this authoritative series, including the most reliable examination of money flows between government and nonprofit organizations. This book belongs on the shelf of everyone who values America’s remarkable nonprofit sector and who wants to understand it better than anyone else!” -- Joel Fleishman, Professor of Law and Public Policy, Duke University
