Leslie Crutchfield Biography

Leslie Crutchfield is coauthor of the award-winning book "Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Nonprofits," on how to maximize nonprofit effectiveness. "Forces for Good" was named one of The Economist's Best Books of 2007 and is in its eighth printing.

Leslie's new book is "Do More Than Give: The Six Practices of Donors Who Change the World." Coauthored with John V. Kania and Mark R. Kramer, this book demonstrates how donors can go beyond check writing to become proactive catalysts for change by rising to meet the challenges of our increasingly interdependent world.

She speaks on high-impact philanthropy, adaptive leadership, effective nonprofit management, social entrepreneurship, and women's leadership.

In presentations based on "Forces for Good" and "Do More Than Give" and FSG's decade of experience advising corporations, foundations, nonprofits and governments on how to achieve greater impact, Leslie Crutchfield offers practical guidance on how to improve the effectiveness of your nonprofit or evaluate the nonprofits you are interested in funding. Leslie also conducts workshops and facilitates private training sessions for groups of nonprofit leaders, philanthropists and social sector thought leaders.

Leslie is a seasoned philanthropy advisor and nonprofit leader who has launched, led, funded, and advised top nonprofit and philanthropic groups. She is a senior advisor at FSG, the global social impact consulting firm founded in 1999 as Foundation Strategy Group by Mark Kramer and Harvard Business School Professor Michael Porter. Leslie is a recent managing director of Ashoka, the world's oldest and largest venture philanthropy group.

In the 1990s, she co-founded a national magazine for social entrepreneurs and leaders of growing nonprofits (circulation 50,000). Both Newsweek and Self magazines have featured her as one of America's top leaders under 40. She has appeared in or contributed to The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, and she appeared on ABC News Now, NPR, PBS and other media.

Leslie currently serves on the board of the SEED Foundation and Kiva. She volunteered with Crossroads Africa in the Gambia. She holds an MBA and AB from Harvard University.

Leslie serves as a philanthropic advisor and strategic consultant to a range of foundations, nonprofits and private philanthropic clients.

Leslie Crutchfield Speaking Topics

  • Forces for Good

    Practical help building stronger nonprofits for higher impact and greater social change.

    What makes great nonprofits great? Not large budgets, snazzy marketing, or excellent management. The answer upends conventional wisdom: shift the focus from building an organization to building a movement. Be entrepreneurial, adaptive and externally oriented. Spend as much time working with institutions outside the boundaries of your organization as you do managing internal operations. Try to fix problems and reform whole systems.

    Based on four years of research, surveys of 2,800 charity leaders and in-depth interviews of 60 leaders and experts, Forces for Good offers practical guidance on how nonprofits can become much stronger forces for social change, for both nonprofit leaders and funders looking at potential grantees.

    The Take-aways:

    For charity leaders: ??improve your results
    For association leaders:???compete differently
    For philanthropists: ?give more strategically
    For corporate leaders:???partner better, do well by doing good
    For everyone: work together to make a better world
