Charitable Nonprofits An Analysis of Institutional Dynamics and Characteristics

The Charitable Nonprofits is a comprehensive study--spanning more than two decades--of the nonprofit sector. Using an institutional perspective, this report describes the world of charitable nonprofits as they exist today; gives an overview of the trends in institutional populations by charting the establishment of new entities and the exit rates among nonprofits since the mid 1960s; and examines the complex relationship of such factors as institutional type, age, size, and access to sources of revenue to reveal characteristic revenue profiles."Bowen et al. have made a major contribution in this volume which should inspire other researchers to enter the quagmire of research on nonprofit organizations. This study is a great gift to the future of research on this sector." --Virginia A.
