Contrary to popular understanding, Salamon argues, America's nonprofit organizations have shown remarkable resilience in recent years in the face of a variety of difficult challenges, significantly re-engineering themselves in the process. But this very resilience now poses risks for the sector's continued ability to perform the tasks that we have long expected of it. The Resilient Sector offers nonprofit practitioners, policymakers, the press, and the public at large a lively assessment of this set of institutions that we have long taken for granted, but that the Frenchman Alexis de-Toqueville recognized to be "more deserving of our attention" than almost any other part of the American experiment. 606 $aNonprofit organizations$zUnited States 606 $aAssociations, institutions, etc$zUnited States 615 0$aNonprofit organizations 615 0$aAssociations, institutions, etc. 676 $a338.7/4 700 $aSalamon$b Lester M$0120850 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826361603321 996 $aThe resilient sector$94069284 997 $aUNINA
