What is the Mission Myth?

The idea that all a nonprofit needs to achieve success is a great mission and a lot of heart. The truth? It is only when organizations integrate the 4Ms -Management, Money, Marketing, and Measurement - that they will achieve optimal results. Here are strategies, anecdotes, and practical tips for new levels of success - all derived from nonprofits that reached new heights. Offering validation, camaraderie, laughter, and hope, The Mission Myth helps you do good...well.

The nonprofit sector is an outstanding, fulfilling…tricky, messy place.
Deirdre Maloney knows it because she ran a nonprofit for seven years. She made lots of mistakes - and learned from each one. Which helped her realize there’s hope – not just to do good. But to do good…well. Which is why she wrote The Mission Myth.
