Abstract

On behalf of the Alliance for Nonprofit Management and as the editor of this spe-cial section of the Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership (JNEL), I am pleased to present three papers based on the presentations and discussions at the Alliance’s 2016 national conference in Washington, DC. The Alliance is the national membership organization of capacity builders (consultants, funders, capacity-building organiza-tions, and researchers) and strives to improve the effectiveness of individuals, groups, and organizations that are helping nonprofits and communities achieve positive so-cial change. The Alliance focuses on the importance of a research-based practice and capacity-building framework and uses it to inform its work. This includes identifying practice implications and disseminating relevant nonprofit research; conducting col-laborative research studies by its members; encouraging capacity builders to base their work on evidence; and advocating for research-based practice to the larger nonprofit sector.
