Book Synopsis
Not-for-profit organizations play a critical role in the American economy. We know such firms don't try to maximize profits, but what do they maximize? Dealing with this question, this book looks at many aspects of not-for-profit operations, from the problems of fundraising, endowments, and governance to issues, such as hospital advertising.

Trade Review
"This focused analysis by leading economists ultimately challenges the reader to think about just how much nonprofit behavior can be explained by formal models, equations, and the utility-maximizing assumptions of economics. Important parts do come into sharper focus thanks to this fine and precise work." - Peter Frumkin, International Journal of Not-for-Profit Law"
