Issue Introduction

Abstract

In this new issue of Journal of Public and Nonprofit Affairs, we offer a collection of Research Articles focused on important ways by which government agencies and nonprofit organizations can work to improve their operational capacity, service delivery, and financial sustainability. Our Social Equity article offers insight and practical advice for increasing access to electronic research participation among individuals with disabilities. We offer two Book Reviews of important recent work focusing on political power and municipal takeovers and engaging citizens in contract governance. Finally, we introduce the New Voices section with a research article on the disruptive effects the COVID-19 pandemic has had on nonprofit operations and volunteer loss resulting from the shift to online service delivery.
