Understanding Your Social Agency
Understanding Your Nonprofit Agency, written by internationally renowned scholar Armand Lauffer, will fill the growing need for the distinction between corporate business operations and nonprofit operations. The book will focus on how nonprofit agencies operate and not how they are managed. It has been assumed that both entities function similarly. Currently, this assumption is increasingly seen as groundless: nonprofit and profit-driven organizations have different goals and function differently from each other. This text addresses the current trend to differentiate how nonprofits are disctint.
Understand Social Agency
This revised and expanded Second Edition of the widely read Understanding Your Social Agency offers students and practitioners a simple yet comprehensive introduction to organizational theory and its meaning for social agencies. Each of the first ten chapters is devoted to a particular perspective for understanding the agency. The final chapter considers using each of the ten perspectives independently, or in tandem, to solve problems within or on behalf of the agency. It will be a useful guide to solving problems of an organizational nature within an agency.
Developing Casework Skills
A practical guide to casework in public social service agencies. Pippin begins by discussing the different worlds of client and helper, outlines the ingredients for a productive relationship, and gives a detailed method for a task-focused approach. Crises, long-standing conditions, unusual client behaviour and the burnout of the helper's own interest are other topics.

Grantsmanship and Fund Raising
Lauffer's book is about more than fund raising. It is also about programme and resource development, and about articulating the interests of an organization's interests with those of suppliers, consumers, and other parties. Without them organizations would have no resources -- and no business. Lauffer stresses the importance of flexibility of organizational and goal achievement. His book is very practical with checklists, exercises, and worksheets.
Designing and Implementing Procedures for Health and Human Services
Schaefer presents the basic concepts and management guidelines for social service workers (and students) for the design and implementation of policy and procedures. Procedures tell people how social service work is to be carried out; they embody specific policies and standards and convert abstractions into concrete instructions. They also offer an important managerial tool, since they are the mechanism through which the objectives of the social service are reached.
