- Cradle-to-grave organization of topics
- Notes, questions, and problems in each chapter that add context to the text
- All relevant statutes and regulations within the text
- Optional exercises for creating a virtual nonprofit, which become the basis for further hypothetical questions.

- Examples of familiar organizations, from Catholic Dioceses to the American Red Cross, grappling with critical issues
- Consideration of for-profit social enterprises as alternatives to nonprofits
- Thorough exploration of the policy implications of nonprofit regulation
- An explanation of the controversies surrounding nonprofits’ entrance into politics and the IRS’ response.
