Nonprofit organizational performance and resource development strategies 

 - Armonk, NY :  M.E.Sharpe,  June 2006 
<br/><br/> Empirical research on charitable behaviors of individuals continues to expand and has growing implications for nonprofit leaders, policymakers, and fundraising professionals. In this exploratory analysis, we examine individual charitable giving and volunteering using primary survey data across a range of demographic and socioeconomic factors to analyze the interaction between giving and volunteering. What is different about the giving patterns of volunteers versus nonvolunteers? What is different about the volunteering pattern of givers versus nongivers? Do individuals give to the same causes to which they volunteer? Our findings provide important evidence about the links between giving and volunteering behaviors, and we offer substantive recommendations about resource development strategies that can be used to attract and expand charitable gifts of time and money. Each is an important resource for nonprofit organizations and critical to their effective performance
