“…Based on the structured interview, volunteering is a non-paid and conscious activity that is done of own free will for the benefit of others. A volunteer may become every man in different areas of the life of society, where such kind of activities are needed [12,13]. Interesting is also the view that follows the above-mentioned view, but emphasizes that a volunteer is also an expert in his / her field selflessly providing his / her knowledge, skills and leisure to the benefit of others.…”

Non-profit organizations carry out activities that the state either does not want to perform or does not take responsibilities for them due to financial reasons, and the private sector is not interested in them. Specific features of such kind organizations is the fact that their performance is mostly depended on the work of a man – a volunteer, so a human capital is their integral part. Volunteering is a multidimensional phenomenon. It is an important part of the society and its future development. The context of volunteering has changed in last years, because social trends as globalization, technological development, changes in demography, emergence of postmodern values, and changes in families and work change people´s attitudes toward volunteering. In order a volunteer could realize his own personality and belief in volunteering activities and simultaneously participate in meeting goals of an organization, it is essential that all elements of management (organizing, managing, control, evaluating) are carried out effectively and have a meaning. To achieve this point, it is needed to know reasons, why people do volunteering that does not have only motivational sense, but also strategic one. Identifying motifs is therefore broader than just meeting needs and their knowledge is an essential factor for the effective functioning of non-profit organizations regardless of fields of their operation.

“…Researchers have long recognized that nonprofits focusing on different service fields are not uniform in their revenue sources and expenditure patterns (Salamon ; Young ). To obtain a sample of organizations with a relatively homogeneous financial structure, we followed Grønbjerg () and Never () and included only human services and community improvement organizations. According to the current National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities‐Core Codes (NTEE‐CC) Classification System, these organizations correspond to all major groups (I, J, K, L, M, N, O, and P) under category “V.…”

This study examined the effectiveness of several financial strategies for nonprofit organizations in fighting the Great Recession. Using data from human services and community improvement organizations in the state of New Jersey, we tested hypotheses about the relationships between three measures of financial sustainability and various fundraising efforts and financial indicators. We found that (1) except for strong external funding relationships, funding efforts were generally not effective in enhancing financial sustainability during the crisis; (2) higher operating margin and equity ratio improved an organization's ability to generate revenue and maintain expense levels, but higher debt ratio and administrative cost ratio were generally harmful; and (3) revenue diversification might aggravate fiscal stress and cause more expense cuts in a severe crisis. These findings improve our understanding of the mechanics of nonprofit management during times of harsh fiscal conditions and suggest useful ways for nonprofit organizations to navigate future financial crises.

“…Any quantitative empirical study where clustering or contagion could be at play should lead us to test for spatial dependence. Valuable datasets such as the NCCS core files could exhibit spatiality: studies of financial distress (Never 2014;Hager 2001), financial reserves (Calabrese 2013), market entrance (Mook, Maiorano, and Quarter (2015), voluntarism (Rotolo, Wilson, and Dietz 2015), and donative behavior (Casale and Baumann 2015), all could have clustering of like organizations. Clustering and contagion can also be prevalent in studies of resource flows across actors, where space is more conceptual than physical geography Hays 2006, Frazese, Robert, andHays 2008).…”

Place matters in human services. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) devolves spending to services, most often provided by nonprofit organizations. We argue that this devolution allows for people to "vote with their feet" (Ostrom, Tiebout, and Warren 1961: "The organization of government in metropolitan areas: A theoretical inquiry." American Political Science Review 55:831-42) in seeking jurisdictions where there will be more spending on human services. This paper considers the spatial patterns of human service expenditures, arguing that people of lower Socio-Economic Status (SES) are less likely to benefit from higher human service spending. We use a spatial Durbin regression to indicate the effects of SES on expenditures in a home county as well as the spillover effect to surrounding counties. The results show that while human service expenditures increase as African American and Renter populations increase in a home county, they also indicate that neighboring counties free-ride on the efforts of the home jurisdiction. Likewise, as a population ages, there is a very large free-riding effect. We conclude that the decentralized TANF policy regime allows for jurisdictions to specialize in human services.
