Abstract:
There is a robust literature examining financial vulnerability and demise of nonprofit organizations, particularly in the United States. However, much of this knowledge stems from inconsistent definitions of nonprofit demise. Using eight comparative case studies, this study revisits traditional definitions of nonprofit life and death to better reflect actual organizational operating status. Following this reclassification, findings from this study show that certain internal and external characteristics are more important in determining a nonprofit’s operational status. In particular, nonprofits whose missions involve a particular regulation are more likely to close due to mission completion or obsolescence; however, these nonprofits also tend to either reincarnate or expand scope if other factors are favorable. The findings also appear to show that the existence of conflict or competition with an outside entity boosts nonprofit cohesion. Internal tensions, however, are particularly harmful.

Abstract:
SYNOPSIS: The early 2000s revealed a series of high-profile financial frauds in the corporate and nonprofit sectors. In response to several of these financial scandals, California passed the Nonprofit Integrity Act (NIA) of 2004. This seminal piece of governance regulation sought to increase financial transparency and mitigate fundraising abuses by California charitable organizations. This study examines the characteristics of California charitable organizations before and after the Act to understand the initial impact the Act had on nonprofit organizations. Key findings from the study include limited reported improvement in financial reporting quality and an increase in accounting fees following the implementation of the Act. California nonprofits subject to the Act’s provisions did exhibit an increase in executive compensation following the implementation of the Act; however, the increase was less than that exhibited by the population of nonprofits during the same time period. Overall, the results of this study suggest that the initial impact of regulations similar to the NIA is greatest for organizations that did not previously have a financial statement audit.

Abstract:
AbstractAfter decades of strict charitable solicitation regulation, the Chinese government has recently begun to experiment with fundraising policy reforms in some local jurisdictions. In this comparative study of two metropolitan cities, Shanghai and Guangzhou, we examine the nature, content, and scope of the reform and its impact on nonprofit organizations. Our archival analysis indicates that the new policies in both cities helped create a more supportive regulatory environment for the nonprofit sector, though they differed in the extent to which policy change departed from the status quo. Yet somewhat surprisingly, the reform elicited a lukewarm reaction from the nonprofit sector: only a very small fraction of nonprofit organizations actually fundraised under the new policies, and their performance varied remarkably. Our field work further reveals that many nonprofit leaders had reservations about the policy initiatives. Possible reasons for such reservations include fragmented policies on nonprofit registration and taxation, discretionary authorization system, and the weak fundraising capacity of nonprofits.

Abstract:
Abstract Research on differences between public, for-profit, and nonprofit providers of welfare services has provided mixed findings, depending on welfare state arrangement, regulation, and service area. This paper’s objective is to study the differences between public, nonprofit (cooperatives and other nonprofits), and for-profit welfare providers from the perspective of the users in the tightly regulated Scandinavian context. We ask how the users perceive the providers from different sectors differently and how this variation can be explained. The study relies on a large-scale survey carried out in 2015 in the city of Oslo, Norway. From the survey, we identify the two main results. First, despite limited differences, users of nonprofit kindergartens are generally more satisfied than users of for-profit and public kindergartens. Second, an important explanation for variations in user satisfaction among kindergartens is identified in a pocket of regulatory leniency: the quality of food service. This is the only expense that varies among kindergartens in Norway. These results indicate that more lenient regulations could potentially increase provider distinctiveness. Based on the existing literature, we discuss why nonprofit providers seem to fare better in the minds of users than public and for-profit providers.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of the California Nonprofit Integrity Act of 2004 on CEO compensation costs in affected organizations. Contrary to the stated objective of the Act that executive compensation is “just and reasonable,” we find that CEO compensation costs for affected nonprofits during the post-regulation periods have increased by about 6.3 percent when compared with a control group of comparable unaffected nonprofits. In addition, the relative increase in CEO compensation appears to come from nonprofits that have experienced greater regulatory cost increases. We do not find evidence that the Act resulted in a change in CEO pay performance sensitivity. The observed CEO pay increase is not systematically different across nonprofits that underpaid versus those that overpaid their CEOs during pre-Act periods. Overall, this paper highlights the unintended consequences of regulatory attempts to enhance governance in the not-for-profit sector.

Abstract:
AbstractThe purpose of this study is to address the ambiguities in the application of anti-trust regulations to the nonprofit sector. We first survey policy tools and their diverse historical usage in nonprofit and mixed markets, specifically in professional associations, hospitals, and education. This analysis informs the development of a typology of anti-competitive nonprofit markets which is used to classify the three historical examples into eight traits. Finally, this typology is applied to three new markets – animal shelters, thrift stores, and soup kitchens – which have less in common with purely for-profit markets and have little or no discussion in antitrust literature. We find that the nonprofit form per se does not indicate an absence of anticompetitive practices or antitrust concerns; however, certain combinations of attributes – such as purely donative revenues and an absence of pricing ability – make the threat of anticompetitive practice less oppressive.

Abstract:
This study evaluated one important dimension of nonprofit self-regulation, the relationship between the Iowa Register of Accountability and voluntary website disclosure by Iowa nonprofits. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of self-regulation in Iowa to improve accountability as measured by voluntary website disclosure and transparency. As part of the study, an instrument was developed to reliably measure nonprofit website disclosure and transparency. The disclosure score ratings from Iowa Register of Accountability nonprofit organizations were compared to those not listed on the Register. Other factors relevant to disclosure and transparency (e.g. the method to become listed on the Iowa Register of Accountability and the type and number of organization staff members who received training) were also tested. Results indicated that nonprofit organizations listed on the Iowa Register of Accountability were more likely to have active websites and to voluntarily disclose recommended information on their websites than those Iowa nonprofits that have not sought or achieved listing on the Register. In particular, the Register group had statistically higher mean disclosure scores in four areas (Key Staff, Strategic Plan, Annual Reports, and Audit and Financial Statements) compared to the Non-Register group. Contrary to expectations, the method to become listed on the Iowa register of Accountability and the type and number of staff members who received training were not related to higher disclosure scores. The important finding of this research is that nonprofit organizations listed on the Iowa Register of Accountability were more likely to voluntarily disclose recommended information on their websites than those Iowa nonprofits that have not sought or achieved listing on the Register. Recommendations are made in terms of ways to improve nonprofit website disclosure and transparency by enhancing and expanding training opportunities. A major contribution of this study for future research in the field was the development of a disclosure scoring instrument to assess and compare website disclosure and transparency.

Abstract:
Charities are important in modern Australian society because they provide a substantial proportion of the health, community welfare, education and religious services available in the community (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2002). Yet despite their social and economic importance, charities are often characterised in the media as being less accountable than either for-profit entities or government sector organisations. Annual reports are widely regarded as an important means of acquitting accountability in the corporate and government sectors and may be one of the means by which charities can improve stakeholders' perceptions of their accountability. Yet little is known of the annual reporting behaviours of charities or whether annual reports have the potential for improving perceptions of accountability among their stakeholders and the wider community. This research focuses on a class of charities termed "public fundraising charities" (those that raise funds from the public rather than just their members), and the role that annual reports play in acquitting accountability and improving perceptions. The research uses a new combination of theories that have previously been used separately to explain accountability and annual reports in other sectors, and using the insights from these theories, examines the role of annual reports in a population of public fundraising charities in Queensland. The major findings of this research are that annual reports have both functional and symbolic roles in the system of accountability of public fundraising charities. Functionally, annual reports are a useful and generally valued means by which public fundraising charities communicate a wide range of types of information about their activities and their performance to interested parties. Symbolically, annual reports also serve as an important signal of assurance to those who receive them. For those who prepare them, annual reports serve as useful signals of managerial and governance competence to those whose opinion is salient to preparers. Annual reports also have a role in the system of accountability for the maintenance of the mission of these organisations, in ways that statutory reports and returns do not. This research makes three original contributions to the literature. First, it provides for the first time a detailed analysis of the role of annual reports in a system of accountability for public fundraising charities in Australia. Second, a new theoretical lens is proposed and tested for its descriptive and explanatory power in the examination the accountability of nonprofit organisations. Third, it makes an original contribution to accountability theory by identifying the importance of the annual report as a quality signaling device. The results of this research will be of use to public fundraising charities, regulators and policy makers, as they respond to the calls for charities to demonstrate that they are accountable.

Abstract:
Concerns have long been raised about the conduct and accountability of charitable organisations, particularly the adequacy of reporting and oversight mechanisms. Consequently, charities and the institutions that monitor the sector are under increasing pressure to demonstrate their legitimacy. This thesis focuses on the ways in which risk is operationalised by the Scottish Charity Regulator and experienced by charities. In particular, it examines the nature, extent, determinants and outcomes of four types of risk: complaints concerning charity conduct, regulatory action in response to a complaint, financial vulnerability, and triggering accountability concerns. The thesis begins with a detailed review of the overlapping literatures of risk, regulation and charity theory, and the development of a contextual framework for guiding the empirical work. The thesis draws on contemporary large-scale administrative social science data derived from the regulator, supported by modest use of primary social survey and qualitative data. Findings from the four empirical chapters provide evidence that the risks explored in this research are uncommon for individual charities but are a persistent feature of the sector as a whole, and vary in predictable ways across certain organisational characteristics. The results also reveal the concern of charities with financial risks, their willingness to demonstrate transparency regarding their actions (particularly in response to complaints), and the perceived lack of regulatory burden. The thesis makes an original contribution in the form of new empirical knowledge about the charity sector, in particular through the use of large-scale administrative social science data to ‘peer under the hood’ and shine a light on aspects of charity behaviour that are often overlooked. The thesis concludes with a reflection on the key findings and comments on potential areas for future research.

This thesis examines the social impact of wildlife conservation nonprofits (WCNs) in the United States and Ecuador. Cultural developments of environmentalism provide the social context for WCNs, informing trends in participation and conflict. WCNs rely on public support and engagement to advance their mission, which requires an image of legitimacy and healthy organizational culture. This thesis argues the relationship between WCNs and the public impacts their organizational sustainability and their success as a conservation institution.

Full text
Abstract:
Across three experiments, I demonstrate that when for-profit organizations focus on the emotional aspects of fund-raising appeals, the evaluations of their appeal decline and they are unsuccessful in generating positive donation intentions; however, this is not the case for nonprofit organizations. In particular, experiment 1 reveals that affective, emotional appeals are viewed more favorably by consumers when they are connected with nonprofit organizations; in contrast, rational, unemotional appeals have greater favorability when they are associated with for-profit organizations. This interaction effect is mediated by the processing fluency, in which the nonprofit organization concepts (vs. for-profit concepts) are congruent with the emotional dimensions of the fund-raising content, causing an ease of processing and positive appeal evaluations. In experiment 2, I find converging evidence that people tend to place little weight on their actual emotional responses in making donation decisions when a for-profit organization is involved. Consumers tend to exhibit a donation flatline, displaying equivalent donation behavior regardless of the actual emotional experiences involved. In experiment 3, I further demonstrate that people's memory performance actually becomes impaired when a high-intensity negative emotional appeal is presented by a for-profit organization but not when it is presented by a nonprofit organization, which again reveals that for-profit organizations’ use of emotional appeals to connect with consumers' affective feelings may backfire. I argue that this is because the activation of for-profit concepts (vs. nonprofit concepts) gives rise to the cognitive system (vs. the affective system), leading people to regulate their emotions via suppression in order to conduct a careful assessment of the appeal content; this results in a donation flatline.

This study aims to investigate the determinants of cash holdings in Taiwan nonprofit organization’s empirical data analysis. Using 246 non-profit organizations in the 2007-2011 data, a measure of cash balances held in cash amount；second, using return on assets, debt ratio, return on assets and growth rate volatility of financial variables as experimental variables；foundation types, local government, types of service and year non-financial variables as the control variable. Regression analysis pointed out that the return on assets, return on assets and cash holdings between rate fluctuations positively associated; debt ratio, growth rate and cash holdings is negative correlation between, but four financial variables are not significant; rather foundation type dummy variable and local government dummy variable is significantly negative. The empirical results show that Taiwan's non-profit organizations hold cash primarily from regulations on the motives of the minimum cash amount established threshold limits.

Many nonprofit organizations provide services, popularize issues, or lobby policies by building up strategic alliances. However, after the alliance was established, how do the organization scale or have the resources and so on different internal actors communicate the consultation, the condensation mutual recognition, as well as the interaction between the alliance and the exterior actors, are key factors which affects the alliance to last with the operation. Recently, because certain nonprofit organizations erupt the financial malpractice, causes the society to realize gradually the importance of nonprofit organization accountability, by and proposed that the accountability besides penetrates the government law to give the standard, must by the nonprofit organization establishment self-regulation mechanism. One of the mechanisms is by the organization each other agreement and the request, the mutual supervision achieves the horizontal accountability, that is by strategic alliance, achieves the mission of nonprofit self-regulation collectively. But organizations which have different background and nature, whether can penetrate the strategy alliance to achieve the goal of self-regulation, is also depended on the interior and exterior network communication, and the interactive situation between various actors. Therefore, we take “network governance” as the main rhyme of this study, to discuss the case of “Taiwan NPO Self-Regulation Alliance,” to analyze the interior and exterior network governance of strategic alliances for nonprofit organizations, inspect the interaction of relevant actors, and discuss by the establishment of Taiwan NPO Self-Regulation Alliance, whether to be helpful to achievement the goal of network governance. Finally, this study will draw the conclusion by interview analysis and compared with overseas nonprofit organizations.

Abstract:
Policy interest in the not-for-profit (NFP) sector has grown in step with government’s interest in leveraging the capacity of non-state players to perform service delivery functions. Once consigned to the periphery of policy-making, the NFP sector is now widely accepted as an essential player in a mixed economy of service provision. Increasingly, the achievement of public policy objectives requires working collaboratively across sector boundaries. Government’s engagement with NFP service providers has, on many occasions, been found wanting. The use of competitive tendering and contracting for the purpose of leveraging greater economic and technical efficiency, choice, responsiveness and innovation in the delivery of selected statutory public services has introduced a range of tensions, contradictions and externalities including failures to fund the full cost of service delivery, the uncertainty of year-to-year contracts, burdensome reporting and compliance requirements, and the substitution of competitive behaviours for collegiality among NFP providers. In the process, the role of NFP organisations as sources of policy advice and legitimacy were devalued. Governments around the world have attempted to regularise relations with the NFP sector through the adoption of formal cross-sector policy frameworks – or ‘compacts’. Compacts serve a number of purposes, some explicit, others implicit. Explicit purposes include the regularisation of relations between the public and third sectors by establishing agreed rules of engagement; creating pathways for investment in sector capacity and capability; and enunciating the values and behaviours required for effective cross-sector working. Implicit purposes include a desire by governments to better manage the politics of their relationships with the third sector, and a desire by the sector to re-weight its policy influence within a strongly asymmetric relationship with government. This research takes the form of a comparative multi-case study and relies upon a rich primary and secondary literature, supplemented by interviews with elite policy actors in Australia and New Zealand. It aims for a deep contextual understanding of the range of factors contributing to the spread of compacts amongst Anglo-Saxon jurisdictions. Employing Kingdon’s (1995) process streams analysis as a heuristic framework for analysis, this thesis seeks to understand why cross-sector policy frameworks have entered onto the public policy agenda in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In Kingdon’s schema, ‘policy windows’ open when three ‘process streams’ converge: the problem stream, the policy stream and the politics stream. The prospect of any solution attaining high ‘agenda status’ can be enhanced by the efforts of ‘policy entrepreneurs’ capable of recognising and exploiting those ‘policy windows’. This study finds that in each of the jurisdictions examined, formal proposals for compacts or similar frameworks have: (a) been preceded by a broad recognition that aspects of the relationship between government and the NFP sector have become problematic; (b) been promoted within various policy communities as a feasible solution to acknowledged problems; and (c) entered onto the public policy agenda at politically propitious moments. The study found that the implementation and impact of cross-sector policy frameworks is highly variable. Nevertheless, political and policy attachment to compacts and similar frameworks appears to be on-going.
