The nonprofit and voluntary sector also known as the third sector economy plays a key role for human and ecological sustainable wellbeing in order to address the critical situations of poverty, depleted resources, welfare and social exclusion. One way to grow and sustain the sector is by getting contributions and donations from other organizations or individual persons. Building on the revised Theory of Planned Behavior, this research attempts to explore what motivates people to donate, and determine if compassion plays a role of a moderator. Based on the structural model, the findings indicate attitude, perceived behavioral control, descriptive norm and moral norms are significant predictors to donation behavior. In addition, the relationship between moral norm and donation behavior is stronger when compassion is higher. The findings would be beneficial in putting up strategies to strengthen the nonprofit and voluntary sector by focusing on the social psychology attitudes for others and from others. As the study did not control for the size of the nonprofit organizations, we suggest future research to consider on the limitation that would be consistent with the “impact model of philanthropy” that postulates for maximum impact donation especially for sustainable wellbeing.

Issues of immigrant political incorporation and transnational politics have drawn increased interest among migration scholars. This paper contributes to debates in this field by examining the role of networks, partnerships and collaborations of immigrant community organizations as mechanisms for immigrant political participation both locally and transnationally. These issues are addressed through an ethnographic study of the Hispanic Development Council, an umbrella advocacy organization representing settlement agencies serving Latin American immigrants in Toronto, Canada. Analysis of HDC’s three sets of networks (at the community, city and transnational levels) from a geographic and relational approach demonstrates the potentials and limits of nonprofit sector partnerships as mechanisms and concrete spaces for immigrant mobilization, empowerment, and social action in a context of neoliberal governance. It is argued that a combination of partnerships with a range of both state and non-state actors and at multiple scales can be significant in enabling nonprofit organizations to advance the interests of immigrant, minority and disadvantaged communities.

Abstract Although nonprofit organizations are expected to contribute to public interests, their tax exemption does not necessarily entail serving the broader public. What, then, makes nonprofit organizations orient their work externally, serving the broader public, instead of internally, pursuing private goals? This paper examines this question by studying the link between nonprofits’ board governance, with a specific focus on boards’ racial diversity, and their contribution to public interests. The analysis of the 2015 US Local Arts Agency Census reveals that boards’ racial diversity is closely related with nonprofit arts organizations’ participation in serving the broader public through civic engagement and community development activities. The findings offer insights on how nonprofit boards, which are neither publicly elected nor publicly accountable, can be trusted to attend to broader issues of the public interest.

Network management is a relatively new concept, which, nevertheless, has taken its place in the field of science and practice of crime counteraction management. In connection with recognition of the place and role of networks in implementing management activity, a number of theoretical questions on redefining the role of state, legitimacy of network structures, trust to new forms of interaction within the state, private sector, nonprofit organizations and associations of citizens arise. The issue of state sovereignty, legitimacy and trust in the context of management problems are studied not only by political scientists, but also by criminologists who conduct research on the problems of improving the policy of crime counteraction. The majority of autonomous, independent and not subordinate to each other entities are involved, each of whom solves his task in this common problem by his own means and methods in accordance with corresponding legislation. However, no matter how independent and autonomous the participants in crime counteraction are, their division is unacceptable since each of them is only one part of the common state and legal system aimed at ensuring resolution of a single task in crime counteraction. Each of them, no matter how it works, is not able to address the issue of crime idependently, only by his own means. They only complement each other, and therefore their activity, undoubtedly, require organization, management, coherence, interaction, coordination. And one of the ways to organize the system of accomplishment of set tasks is network management. The peculiarities of the latter are that a certain part of crime counteraction happens primarily on a procedural basis, and law enforcement agencies are procedurally independent and autonomous (this excludes any authroitative forms of management). Therefore, network management is implemented only on the basis of equality of all its elements, independence of each of them when performing tasks, responsibility for their realization and compliance with law.
