“…There were roughly 1.58 million nonprofits in the US in 2011, up 21.5% from 2001, and private giving to NGOs surpassed $300 billion in 2012. 56 A total of 11.4 million people are employed in the nonprofit sector in the US. 57 As Borras 58 has noted, the role of NGOs in the international food sovereignty movement is a complex and ongoing debate, and the same is true regarding US ** See full membership list here: http://.net/index.php/who-we-are/nffc-member-groups/ movements.…”

Food Sovereignty

As food sovereignty spreads to new realms that dramatically diverge from the agrarian context in which it was originally conceived, this raises new challenges, as well as opportunities, for already complex transnational agrarian movements. In the face of such challenges, calls for convergence have increasingly been put forward as a strategy for building political power. Looking at the US case, we argue that historically rooted resistance efforts for agrarian justice, food justice and immigrant labor justice across the food system are not only drawing inspiration from food sovereignty, but helping to shape what food sovereignty means in the US. By digging into the histories of these resistance efforts, we can better understand the divides that exist as well as the potential for and politics of convergence. The US case thus offers important insights, especially into the roles of race and immigration in the politics of convergence that might strengthen the global movement for food sovereignty as it expands to new contexts and seeks to engage with new constituencies.

“…Government funding, however, is not without problems for nonprofits (De Wit & Bekkers, 2017; Lu, 2018; Pettijohn et al, 2013). One notable problem documented in the literature is that it is time‐consuming for nonprofits to apply for government funding, and subsequent complex performance reporting required by governments can divert nonprofits from their core missions (Coupet, 2018; Lu & Zhao, 2019; Sarah & Elizabeth, 2018). This, combined with other problems, may diminish the effect of commercialization on nonprofit efficiency.…”

Despite concerns raised by some scholars, recent publications have demonstrated that commercialization brings multiple benefits to nonprofits. However, while discussion of the positive effect of commercialization on nonprofit efficiency is on the rise in the literature, very few studies have empirically assessed the relationship. This study fills this gap by examining whether commercialization contributes to greater nonprofit efficiency and under what conditions this effect is more likely. Using fixed effects models with 2008-2018 data, the results from this study indicate that commercialization contributes to nonprofit efficiency in the performing arts subsector. Moreover, findings suggest that the relationship is more positive when performing arts nonprofits receive less government funding. The study concludes with implications for research and practice.

Nonprofits provide a range of human and social services in the United States, producing what some call the delegated welfare state. The authors aim to quantify inequities in nonprofit service provision by focusing on two types of vulnerabilities: spatial and socio-demographic. Specifically, the authors develop a service accessibility index to identify mismatch between population demand and locational supply of nonprofits. The authors apply the index to an original data set of more than 1,500 immigrant-serving legal and health organization in California, Nevada, and Arizona. The authors find that immigrants living in rural areas are underserved, especially in access to justice, compared with those in metropolitan areas but that residents of smaller cities have better access, especially to health services, than those in larger cities. The service accessibility index not only brings such inequities into relief but raises critical questions about the determinants and consequences of service-access variability, for vulnerable immigrants and others dependent on the nonprofit safety net.
