1 Practical look at why capacity building is difficult
Like many others, I assumed that building nonprofit capacity was a wise investment. Blumenthal describes how easily capacity building efforts can go awry, using both research and examples from real programs. She goes on to describe a number of interesting capacity building programs that avoid some of the pitfalls. While the problems described are very common, this is the first analysis I have found that offers alternatives.
This book offers important insights for foundations interested in funding capacity building work, consultants who work with nonprofits and nonprofit executive directors and trustees.

	If you rap your knuckles against a window jamb or door, if you

brush your leg against a bed or desk, if you catch your foot in a curled-

up corner of a rug, or strike a toe against a desk or chair, go back and

repeat the sequence. 

	You will find yourself surprised how far off course you were to

hit that window jamb, that door, that chair.  Get back on course and do it

again.  How can you pilot a spacecraft if you can't find your way around

your own apartment?

Of all men's miseries, the bitterest is this:

to know so much and have control over nothing.
