“…These data are limited in that they do not include all voluntary organizations in a neighborhood, and they do not contain information on the number of members. However, prior evidence that this data source disproportionately captures larger voluntary organizations-precisely the sort most likely to provide resources to the community-suggests that they may be a reasonable proxy for the construct of interest (Gronbjerg and Paarlberg, 2002). We geocoded these organizations based on the provided address and placed them into the appropriate census tract.…”

This study used a unique data set that combines information on parolees in the city of Sacramento, CA, over the 2003–2006 time period with information on monthly crime rates in Sacramento census tracts over this same period, providing us a fine‐grained temporal and geographical view of the relationship between the change in parolees in a census tract and the change in the crime rate. We find that an increase in the number of tract parolees in a month results in an increase in the crime rate. We find that more violent parolees have a particularly strong effect on murder and burglary rates. We find that the social capital of the neighborhood can moderate the effect of parolees on crime rates: Neighborhoods with greater residential stability dampen the effect of parolees on robbery rates, whereas neighborhoods with greater numbers of voluntary organizations dampen the effect of parolees on burglary and aggravated assault rates. Furthermore, this protective effect of voluntary organizations seems strongest for those organizations that provide services for youth. We show that the effect of single‐parent households in a neighborhood is moderated by the return of parolees, which suggests that these reunited families may increase the social control ability of the neighborhood.

“…Although the state maintains records on registered nonprofits, we were particularly interested in small nonprofits with gross receipts of less the $150,000. As demonstrated by other researchers (Gronbjerg, 2002;Gronbjerg & Paarlberg, 2002;Smith, 2000), reliance on IRS listings excludes many nonprofits operating in local communities. Our goal was to attempt to reach the universe of these small to mid-sized organizations within a large metropolitan area.…”

This study investigated predictors of self-reported growth in a purposive sample of 398 small to mid-sized nonprofit organizations, including small grassroots organizations, which were providing their services in a metropolitan area facing dire economic conditions. The analytic design used both a multinomial logit and structural equation approach to investigate the associations between program development, readiness to change, management capacity, and fund development and organizational growth. The results indicated that program development, readiness to change, and fund development were positively and directly related to growth, while management capacity was indirectly associated with growth via the pathways of program development and readiness to change.

“…This may be an indication that IRS filings not only provide material benefits to the organization and its donors, but symbolic benefits as well. This suggests a level of professionalism an organization is trying to communicate with stakeholders (Grønbjerg & Paarlberg, 2002).…”

Despite normative claims that elite foundation boards select elite nonprofits, foundations increasingly use community volunteers to allocate grants. There is an assumption that community involvement in grant making leads to better grant decisions. However, no one has tested this assumption and explored whether community members are even making different grant decisions than traditional boards. Drawing on a sample of six funders who use a community and traditional board, their 616 grantees, and 955 nongrantees, this paper empirically tests anecdotes replete in literature, identifying the organizational and financial determinants that influence community boards grant decisions versus those that influence traditional board decisions.
