Dimensions of Sales Tax Exemption Policy
State exemption of qualified nonprofit organizations from paying sales taxes on certain purchases is one tool by which government encourages private development and delivery of public goods. We review Arizona’s “transaction privilege” exemption for health nonprofits through review of statutes, interviews with state officials, interviews with nonprofits that seek and make use of the exemption, and secret shopping with Arizona businesses to see how…
Local arts agency participation in cultural tourism management
The tourism literature does not consider the role of the local arts agency in destination management. This paper explores the extent to which local arts agencies engage in programming and partnerships related to the development of tourism. It proposes that participation in cultural tourism management is determined by both organizational and environmental characteristics. Drawing on a national survey of local arts agencies, the analysis compares s…
Compensation for Governance in Grantmaking Foundations
Private and community grantmaking foundations are part of the U.S. nonprofit sector, although they primarily distribute funds rather than seek them. Like all nonprofit organizations, they are governed by a board of directors or trustees. Despite normative expectations that members of charitable boards work without compensation, many grantmaking foundations provide fees and other benefits to their trustees. Although these payments are required by …
Structural embeddedness and the liability of newness among nonprofit organizations
Ecological studies have consistently reported that younger organizations are more likely to close or disband than older organizations. This article uses neo-institutional theory and social capital theory to explore this finding. We derive hypotheses from these perspectives and test them on a panel of nonprofit organizations in Minneapolis-St Paul (USA) using event history analysis. We find that larger organizations and organizations more dependen…
Divergent Views of Clients and Professionals
This article presents the findings from a study comparing the responses of human service providers and service users to a community needs assessment survey. The analysis of data from this study provided strong support for the hypothesis that providers would see their clients as more needy than the clients would see themselves. The analysis also suggested support for a second hypothesis that professionals and clients would emphasize different need…
Organizational Characteristics and Funding Environments
This study examines a population of United Way–affiliated nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts (1) to test hypotheses generated by previous research on relationships between government funding and specific nonprofit organizational characteristics, (2) to compare differences in organizational characteristics between nonprofits receiving higher percentages of revenues from the United Way and from government sources, and (3) to explore associati…
Tales From the Grave
Competing theories of organizational behavior offer a variety of reasons why organizations cease to exist. Some reasons are internal to the organization, such as losing control over financial matters and being unable to routinize procedures. Other reasons are environmental, such as changing market conditions, lacking social capital, outside regulation, and not being perceived as legitimate by external power holders. The authors interviewed repres…
