About the Book  
Mark & Cynthia Moe Feinknopf

In story after story of Debbie Wilde's leadership experience, her humility, vitality and humor shine as beacon and guide to collaborative and devoted effort.  Reflecting her high value for self-awareness, transparency, inclusion, and respect, her actions model the ancient tenets "Know thyself" and "To thine own self be true,". The inspirational result is Debbie's living and leading in harmony with and in dedication to her own and her organization's values - avoiding the undercurrents of discontent and unease that so often preclude sustainability.

Debbie Wilde's new book, THE SUSTAINABLE NONPROFIT  is such a useful book, full of her 'Wilde Wisdom' and stories from years of experience with the ups and downs and ins and outs of the nonprofit environment. Leading my own nonprofit for several years has had its own challenges as the vision was mine, but I need a strong organization and culture to get it bigger and more visible to the communities and organizations we serve. This extremely useful and practical book by Debbie, informs, challenges, educates, and motivates all with deceptive simplicity .....which I love.

Bill Shirley, BT MCC The Sustainable Nonprofit is for those leaders in the non-profit
business sector—Board members and Executive Staff—who are
determined to make good things happen in their organizations.
While most books offering non-profit leadership guidance are
written by academics doing research, this is the rare book
written by someone who has “been there!” DebbieWilde’s
story is a practical, pragmatic path through the vast, poorly
charted non-profit wilderness.

I liked The Sustainable Nonprofit a lot. The narrative/storytelling
style kept me engaged, and interested in the material… while
the practical guidance was on target, clear, instructive. This is
great writing, excellent style, simple reading and entertaining
… with powerful/pragmatic messages.

About Debbie Wilde's Leadership
 
Jeff Pryor, EdD DebbieWilde links passion and strategy. Her determination
to inspire invites so many across the threshold to embrace
the work of her organization, YouthZone. She is a wizard in
reaching out and involving people, sharing the mission and
creating solid expectations for performance from the youth to
the board president. In challenging economic times, YouthZone
has wrestled with the realities and with solid involvement from
so many and has excelled in leadership and sustainability.

When YouthZone experienced huge reductions in government
funding, many would have simply folded up their tent in
defeat and quietly slipped away. Debbie never blinked, but
instead found solutions. More importantly, she has an innate
skill of making change happen for the good. In spite of these
seemingly impossible challenges that would, to most, translate
into only negative changes, Debbie has somehow turned them
into opportunities and has actually made YouthZone a stronger
organization because of it.

You kept the ball rolling—as well as flying!
It was a fun retreat as well as productive. Your topics, pace and
humor were admired by all!

I know we still have a lot of work to do but we now have a
handle on the direction we need to go. Thanks so much for
your time, effort and energy on behalf of children in this valley.
We are fortunate to have you in our community.

Thanks for the great presentation at our board meeting.
I am always proud to show you and your organization off
as examples of the best in administration, service, programs
and leadership. I’ve heard only raves from every board

nonprofit manager.

DebbieWilde did a fantastic job. My board was so pleased
with our results, they were “all a buzz” at my house last
evening. We really got aligned around the impact we are
making and what we want to be about. And, they understood
it and embraced it. Debbie really got them there.
