How US Private Foundations Change Payouts Based on Financial Shocks
This article asks what distribution behavior of private foundations in the United States reveals about their motivations and strategy. Do private foundations intentionally distribute additional money to grantees to help them manage through business cycles and maintain services during economic downturns? Such behavior would be consistent with revealed publicness with respect to distributions. Do they retrench during difficult economic times to pro…
Research Implications of Electronic Filing of Nonprofit Information
Increased electronic filing, or e-filing, of nonprofit data in the United States and abroad quickens public availability, eliminates dependence on third-party proprietary datasets, and broadens access to information offering insight into previously neglected topics. On the other hand, increasingly open data require researchers to independently ensure data quality, understand limitations, and consider how data availability shapes research question…
Instrumental Philanthropy, Nonprofit Theory, and Information Costs
Instrumental philanthropy has gained attention and popularity in recent decades as an approach to maximizing the impact of giving. This article evaluates the suitability of the nonprofit institutional form, specifically the US public charity, as a vehicle for instrumental philanthropy. The analysis identifies an incongruity between the informational requirements of instrumental philanthropy and the form and theory of the nonprofit. An alternative…
Does Participatory Budgeting Alter Public Spending? Evidence From New York City
Participatory budgeting is described as a direct-democracy approach to resource allocation decision making. Theories assume it changes how public resources are spent by moving decisions from elected officials to citizens. The literature does not consider how earmarking—in which legislators direct parts of public budgets directly—might affect the impact of such policy devices. New York City’s participatory budgeting process which uses earmarks is …
Audience Building and Financial Health in the Nonprofit Performing Arts
There is scant research evidence to explain why arts audiences are shrinking, how organizations can reverse this trend, and whether organizations’ efforts can improve their finances.
Proverbs of Nonprofit Financial Management
Whereas the field of public administration has benefited from periods of critical reflection and reform aimed at reexamining the field’s traditional management paradigms, the related field of nonprofit management has generally lacked such an analogously explicit and sustained research program to reevaluate its own conventional wisdoms. Meanwhile, accumulated findings from the last several decades of nonprofit management research have problematize…
How Are We Doing? The Failure of Welfare Reform to Reduce Poverty
A Deficit Model of Collaborative Governance
Much existing scholarship on nonprofit organizations’ receipt of government funds appears to assume that there is something highly problematic about this relationship. Although rarely articulated in these studies, the concern about the negative effects of government funding turns on a view of nonprofits that privileges their private character. In this article, rather than examining how public funds constrain private action, we inquire about how g…
To Give Is to Get
Public managers and elected officials are generally restricted from supporting election campaigns with public resources. In the case of legislative referenda, the public stakeholders responsible for putting a policy question on the ballot must play a neutral role when acting in their official capacity. A system where private money supports public goals has emerged as regulatory provisions simultaneously restrict direct private giving to elected o…
Debt, donors, and the decision to give
Despite the enormous size of the nonprofit sector, there has been very little empirical research done on the capital structure of nonprofit organizations, and no one has examined the potential effects of borrowing on individual contributions. Using a representative sample of nonprofits, the empirical analysis first determines whether secured or unsecured borrowing by nonprofits influence future contributions. The results for the full sample suppo…
Alternative Service Delivery
We analyze panel data of U.S. states to determine whether nonprofit contribution and program service revenues are correlated with state tax burden. State tax burden is modeled as a function of (a) state tax policy, (b) nontax policy factors that affect state income, and (c) other exogenous factors that are independent of state tax policy and do not directly induce income; regression results reveal correlations with variables in all three categori…
Do Donors Penalize Nonprofit Organizations with Accumulated Wealth
Does current accumulated wealth by nonprofit organizations influence contributions from individuals? Existing research demonstrates that financial reserves aid program continuity during economic downturns. Yet donors, charity watchdogs, and policy makers voice concern about accumulated wealth in nonprofits. This empirical analysis examines whether the expected negative relationship occurs when donors perceive accumulated wealth as excessive. The …
