Leaders Of The Pack: Women And The Future Of Veterinary Medicine, Julie Kumble, Donald Smith

Foundations rarely have explicit guidelines, but most have informal rules of thumb that affect how a nonprofit can use grant funds. Meanwhile, nonprofit executives struggle to make sense of it all as they manage their operations amidst the conflicting requirements of …
