Nonprofit, Inc: Scaling with Purpose bridges the persistent gap between theory and practice in the nonprofit sector. Drawing on decades of strategic advisory experience and real-world data, author Carol Wick introduces her Five Factors(TM) Framework: a practical model used to assess and strengthen organizational capacity across five essential areas: plan, outcomes, budget, team, and funding.

Rooted in systems thinking, human-centered leadership, and applied strategy, this book offers a new approach to sustainable nonprofit growth. Wick combines diagnostic tools, case studies, and actionable guidance to help leaders align mission with operations, replace survival mode with strategic clarity, and scale what works, all without losing their soul in the process.

Designed for nonprofit executives, board members, funders, consultants, and graduate programs in nonprofit management and philanthropy, Nonprofit, Inc is both a conceptual framework and an implementation guide. Readers will walk away with the tools to lead with integrity, the insight to make smarter decisions, and the clarity to grow lasting, measurable impact.
