“…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.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral identificar os fatores pessoais que motivam os brasileiros a doarem dinheiro e/ou bens. Para alcançar tal objetivo foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, quantitativa com corte transversal. Inicialmente foram identificadas na literatura 58 características pessoais que tendem a motivar o comportamento de doação de dinheiro e/ou bens. Estas variáveis foram convertidas em afirmações e, posteriormente, estruturadas em um questionário. Este questionário foi aplicado junto à 1073 doadores brasileiros que afirmaram realizar com regularidade a doação de dinheiro e/ou bens. Após coletados os dados, foi realizada a análise fatorial exploratória. O agrupamento das variáveis na análise fatorial exploratória resultou em 10 fatores de características pessoais (Imagem Pessoal, Aspectos Sociais, Necessidade de Ajudar, Aspectos Econômicos, Comprometimento com o Próximo, Benefícios Psicológicos, Consciência da Necessidade, Valores Pessoais, Aspectos Demográficos e Disposição em Ajudar). Tal análise favoreceu a identificação de dimensões subjacentes das características pessoais que tendem a motivar a realização da doação de dinheiro e/ou bens.

Give where you live: A social network analysis of charitable donations reveals localized prosociality

Millions of charities compete for donations, yet no empirical study has examined patterns of shared giving behavior across the nonprofit sector. To understand which types of charities are more likely to share donors, we conducted a social network analysis using behavioral data from 1,504,848 donors to 52 large charities in Australia. Three hypotheses were tested, which considered how patterns of shared donations may be determined by charity sub-type (e.g., health, social services, religious), type of beneficiaries (i.e., humans, animals, the environment), or geographic focus (i.e., international, national, regional). Overall, results indicate that patterns of shared giving are strongly shaped by geography: international charities typically share donors, as do charities operating in the same local region. Some-albeit inconsistent-evidence also emerged to support the notion that sub-type may be an organizing principle for donation distributions, but little support was found for the idea that beneficiaries influence shared giving patterns. A key managerial implication is that the practice of supporter list swapping may be most beneficial when lists are shared between organizations that both operate in the same geographic region rather than between organizations that both operate as the same subtype of charity or both share similar beneficiaries. | INTRODUCTIONEach year, Australians donate over $10 billion to charities and nonprofits; yet this giving is dispersed among over 59,000 registered charities (ACNC, 2021). This kind of dispersed giving is observed all around the world: for example, there are 168,000 registered charities in the United Kingdom and over 1.5 million in the United States (Charity Commission, 2018;NCCS, 2020). Despite the importance of understanding how donors distribute their charitable dollars across the charity network, only a handful of studies have considered the question of charity section at all and no empirical research has investigated which types of charities are more likely to attract the same donors. For example, do charities share donors in relatively arbitrary ways, or rather are patterns of shared giving behavior explained by charity sub-type, beneficiaries served, or geographic focus? The current study fills this important gap by conducting a social network analysis on transactional data from over 1.5 million donors to examine their patterns of shared giving between 52 large charities. | Understanding charity selectionCharitable giving refers to voluntary donations of money that benefit non-kin others (Bekkers & Wiepking, 2011a). Traditionally, scholars of giving have focused primarily on identifying who gives to charity and
