This revised and expanded Second Edition of the widely read Understanding Your Social Agency offers students and practitioners a simple yet comprehensive introduction to organizational theory and its meaning for social agencies. Each of the first ten chapters is devoted to a particular perspective for understanding the agency. The final chapter considers using each of the ten perspectives independently, or in tandem, to solve problems within or on behalf of the agency. It will be a useful guide to solving problems of an organizational nature within an agency.
In this complete revision of his earlier book on grant seeking, Lauffer provides readers with a wealth of new material. Grants, Etc. includes a step-by-step checklist of project design essentials, as well as a new section on internet access filled with key website links and information on creating your own web page. The wide range of examples provided make this book an invaluable guide for fund seekers of all kinds - non-profit organizations in the social services, health care, education and the arts, as well as for profit, proprietary firms who depend on grants and contracts for their survival and growth.
