    WK3_Preparing to Conduct Business Research - Part 1

    Addressing the funding of nonprofits in today’s environment requires creativity. Government funding cuts play a major role in a non-profits currently surviving on a safety net established with the Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Senior Homes).

From 1999 to 2009 there was a 31% increase in nonprofit organizations according to the latest data (Charitable Statistics).

In the article titled “Nonprofits and the Promotion of Civic Engagement: A Conceptual Framework for Understanding the "Civic Footprint" of Nonprofits within Local Communities”, the authors speak about how nonprofit organizations provide civic benefits by promoting engagement within local communities. Their analysis uncovered four primary categories which describe how non-profits support and promote civic engagement within communities, the first being “engaging with volunteers and donors”, as it offers an incentive for each to form an understanding of the organization and its impact, the second category is “bringing community members together…
