“…As mentioned in Section 1, this is a difficult relationship to untangle, as extensive fundraising activities may reduce donations from donors who dislike those expenditures, increase donations from donors who give more because of the activities financed by those expenditures, or perhaps even increase donations from those who appreciate the use of their gift to increase giving from others (Rose-Ackerman [1982]). Weisbrod and Dominguez [1986] directly tackle the question of the price of giving, defining it as the cost to the donor of providing a dollar of output by the charity, and estimate the effect of this efficiency price on giving using a panel of IRS filings by charities. They find elasticities ranging between -0.7…”

“…First, a number of previous papers have considered government crowd out and nonprofit organizations. These papers sometimes use Internal Revenue Service (IRS) forms for nonprofit organizations as the source of their data [e.g., Weisbrod and Dominguez, 1986;Payne, 1998;Okten and Weisbrod, 2000;Andreoni and Payne, 2003]. …”

Churches provide community services similar to those provided by the government, but there has been no convincing analysis of the extent to which church activity can substitute for government activity. To address this important issue, this paper uses a new panel data set of Presbyterian Church (USA) congregations to regress both church-member donations and a church's community spending on a number of variables, including government welfare expenditures. A provision of the 1996 welfare law that decreased the availability and use of welfare services by non-citizens serves as an instrument to identify the causal effect of government spending on church activity. The results show that church activities substitute for government activities. Extrapolating the findings to all denominations, the estimated "crowd-out" effect lies between twenty and thirty-eight cents on the dollar. The results are subjected to a number of robustness tests.

“…This implied that the majority of the NPOs were able to solicit substantial amounts of charity funds for their operations and organisation of programmes and services. As indicated by several scholars, a healthy national economy will generate more financial surpluses to support the work of NPOs (Weisbrod and Dominguez, 1986;Ross, 1996;Speckbacher, 2003). During good economy performing years, funds from various sources, including government grants, philanthropy foundations as well as the general public are likely to increase.…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how Learning Organization Elements (LOE) was implemented amongst non-profit organizations (NPO's) in Singapore. Through a self-administered survey and in-depth interviews, organizational performances of 60 non-profit organizations NPOs were evaluated, whilst the extent to which the LOE were carried out within these NPOs were also discussed. Findings suggest that elements such as clarity of mission and vision, experimentation and intrinsic motivation, leadership commitment and empowerment, and organizational learning practices were deemed to be essential for NPOs to be transformed into a learning organization. Other elements such as individual learning and team-problem solving as well as organizational learning practices were also mentioned by respondents as important elements toward NPOs' performance. Implications of the study including the applications of those LOE together with a strategic dimension in order for NPOs to become learning organizations, as well as to achieve superior organizational performance were also highlighted.
