“…The more central the activity in recreationists' lives, the more invested they become in its resource dimensions (Ditton et al, 1992). In addition, research shows that trust often fosters greater organizational engagement, which is in turn positively related to higher degrees of giving (Liu, 2019;Sargeant et al, 2006). The same likely holds when it comes to cumulative contributions.…”

A new form of recreation-focused collective action has grown over recent decades. Practitioners of shared outdoor recreation interests are coordinating to meet stewardship and advocacy goals. Such "civic recreation organizations" blur the lines between voluntary sport clubs, interest groups, and resource management, promising concentrated recreational benefits and offering the potential for positive impacts for other user groups and stakeholders, land managers, and perhaps even the general public. This study draws insights from leisure, voluntary contributions, and social exchange research to examine how the relationship between a recreationist and a civic recreation organization, recreational commitment, and the likelihood of receiving tangible benefits may impact recreationist's propensity to contribute to civic recreation through organizational membership, donations, and volunteering. The analysis offers theoretical insights into how trust and recreational commitment might support sport-centered local civic environmentalism, with practical implications for civic recreation leaders.

“…Charities are often highly dependent on donors and funders who provide resources with no benefit to themselves, frequently focusing on the desire to provide advantage to a specific group of beneficiaries (or the public generally) (Connolly & Hyndman, 2017). It is argued that increased trust is positively linked to donor giving and volunteer commitment (Charity Commission, 2018; Liu, 2019; Sargeant & Hudson, 2008; Yang, Brennan, & Wilkinson, 2014) and reductions in trust have major impacts on charitable giving, and hence charitable activity (Hind, 2017; LeClair, 2019).…”

“…For charities, trust is indispensable for their existence and growth, and increased trust reveals itself in strengthened external stakeholder engagement, which, in turn, can generate increased donations of time and money to the charity (Liu, 2019; Sargeant & Lee, 2004). Trust ensures the sustainable development of charities and can be a particularly essential commodity at a time of existential crisis where high levels of trust can reinforce faith and belief, allowing charities to survive adversity (Hyndman, 2020; Yang et al., 2014).…”

Many stones can form an arch, singly none: (Re‐)establishing trust in charities

Trust in charities is critical in terms of the health of the sector, and also in relation to the establishment and maintenance of social cohesiveness. Moreover, lack of trust can not only damage the charity sector (having negative impacts on public perceptions and donor giving) but can also undermine attempts at building social capital. Yet, how trust is defined, the various forms that it takes and how it is established (or re‐established, if lost) is unclear. This paper explores the various conceptions of what trust is, applies them to charities and examines trust in relation to the sustainability of the sector. A key finding is that trust has many dimensions, and charities (and the sector as a whole) need to work on a range of fronts on an ongoing basis to protect and build perceptions of trustworthiness (‘many stones can form an arch’). As a consequence, the paper presents an outline research agenda (in the form of four key questions) that encourages future researchers to enhance understanding of the important interplay between trust and charities more fully. This focuses on the relationship between charities and beneficiaries, how trust‐building activities vary with charity size/area of activity, the potential role of communicating service delivery and what ‘good regulation’ might look like.

“…Empirical investigations of trust in nonprofits traditionally focus on antecedents of trust (e.g., Sargeant & Lee, 2002), consequences of trust (e.g., Alhidari et al, 2018; Liu, 2019), or both antecedents and consequences (e.g., Furneaux & Wymer, 2015; Sargeant & Lee, 2004a, 2004b). The question of whether or not trust in nonprofits is changing over time has rarely been considered.…”

“…Various studies have shown a link between trust and charitable giving. People with higher trust in charities or nonprofits are more likely to be donors and are more generous when they do give (e.g., Alhidari et al, 2018; Bekkers, 2003; Bourassa & Stang, 2016; Liu, 2019; Vázquez, 2011). Thus, it is reasonable to expect that global trends in trust will directly influence the extent to which nonprofits can do their work.…”

Recent high-profile scandals suggest the potential for a crisis of trust in charities, which could have negative consequences for the nonprofit sector as a whole. Although widespread, this crisis narrative has not yet been subjected to empirical examination. To assess the extent to which public trust has changed over time, we examined trust in nongovernmental organizations within 31 countries over nine consecutive years using data from the Edelman Trust Barometer ( N = 294,176). Multilevel analysis revealed that, after allowing for differences in absolute levels of trust and trends across countries, there was actually a small increase in global trust in the nonprofit sector. This increase was sharper among men, people aged below 40 years, and people with higher education, income, and media consumption. Overall, we find no evidence of a crisis of trust in nonprofits; scandals within individual organizations have not affected sectoral trust.
