Program Development, Implementation & Evaluation - Top Areas to Address - #6 - #10

In a previous blog post titled "Program Development, Implementation & Evaluation - Top Areas to Address - #1 - #5", I stated that in the nonprofit field, the development of a new program generally begins with receiving some type of grant award. Of course, nonprofits can develop programs without being awarded a grant, but the money needed to create and implement any type of program will need to come from a philanthropist or through other fundraising efforts and activities.

Customer Service in the Nonprofit Community - How Does Your Organization Rate?

As such, shouldn't their customers be their top priority, as they are their most important stakeholders?
