The Charitable Nonprofits
by William G. Bowen, Thomas I Nygren, Sarah E. Turner and Elizabeth A. Duffy.
273 pages. From Jossey-Bass Publishers/Prentice Hall CanadaIn spite of all the information available on the charitable sector, few reference texts are definitive when dealing with the significance and importance of the sector to society in general. The Charitable Nonprofits fills this gap with exciting new research and analysis. It teems with charts, graphs and tables that illustrate the sector's impact, and tracks important trends in institutional demographics. Most enlightening, however, is its examination of how funding patterns differ among various organization types.
The book provides a clear and succinct description of the size and structure of the nonprofit sector, and for the first time charts the establishment of new entities, and the exit rates among nonprofits since the mid-1960s. Written from an institutional perspective, the book presents essential information and a systematic exploration of the entire field.
Presenting a wealth of newly collected data, summarizing major findings, and suggesting areas for future research, the text is a major research contribution of interest to nonprofit leaders, practitioners and funders. The Charitable Nonprofits is an essential addition to any nonprofit library.
