Begging for Change: The Dollars and Sense of
Making Nonprofits Responsive, Efficient, and
Rewarding for All, Robert Egger
(2004) Egger started the D.C. Central Kitchen in
1989 by collecting unused food from local
restaurants, caterers, and hotels and bringing it back
to a central location where hot, nutritious meals were
prepared and distributed to agencies around the city.
Its highly successful 12-week job-training program
equips former homeless transients and drug addicts
with culinary and life skills to gain employment in the
restaurant business. In addition to telling his story, he
relays his rules of the road for success: Robert's
Rules for Nonprofits. He asks for nonprofits to be
more innovative and results-driven, for corporate and
nonprofit leaders to be more focused and
responsible, and for citizens who contribute their time
and money to be smarter and more demanding of
nonprofits and what they provide in return.
