I just finished reading Judith Sharken Simon's The Five Life Stages of Nonprofit Organizations, published by the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation. The five stages she lays out are (1) Imagine and Inspire, (2) Found and Frame, (3) Ground and Grow, (4) Produce and Sustain, and (5) Review and Renew. Creating a taxonomy of stages like this is by its nature a process of digesting anecdotes and can't be very scientific, but I still think this sort of thing is important. Anything that contributes to normalizing the transitions that nonprofits go through is invaluable and this book does so brilliantly.
