Philanthropy and the Nonprofit Sector in a Changing America

這個系列匯集了學者，從業者，......以及眾多其他有才華和傑出的獨立部門公民組合的觀點......“必讀”。

該部門約佔國民收入的7％，僱傭了約1000萬工人，並使用了約9000萬志願者的服務。為了分析這個日益有影響力的行業未來發展方向，美國大會和印第安納州慈善中心贊助了一次會議，該會議吸引了一流的學者和從業者。要求參與者考慮三個關鍵問題：第一，哪些力量將決定未來十年慈善事業和非營利部門的形態和活動？其次，慈善事業和非營利部門將如何被這些力量加強或削弱？第三，如何將與部隊對抗的挑戰轉化為機遇？慈善事業和不斷變化的美國非營利部門是這項調查的產物。

每個撰稿人都關注各種壓力：將聯邦計劃下放到州和地方層面：非營利組織和營利組織之間的界限模糊;不斷變化的收入分配;主要新財富及其集中度;對社區和民間社會的興趣重新燃起;宗教和其他監管改革的演變;政府從各種政策領域撤退，私有化和市場模式的興起。

This collection brings together the views of a stellar assemblage of scholars, practitioners,... and a host of other talented and distinguished citizens of the independent sector.... A `must read.' -Philanthropy MonthlyA useful addition to the libraries of researchers on the third sector." -Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector QuarterlyThe nonprofit sector in America consists of some 1.5 million tax-exempt organizations, ranging in size from storefront human services agencies and one-room churches to giant universities and medical centers.

The sector accounts for about 7 percent of national income, employs some 10 million workers, and uses the services of some 90 million volunteers. In an attempt to analyze future directions of this increasingly influential sector, the American Assembly and the Indiana Center on Philanthropy sponsored a conference that brought in leading scholars and practitioners. The participants were asked to consider three key clusters of issues: First, what forces will determine the shape and activities of philanthropy and the nonprofit sector in the next decade? Second, how will philanthropy and the nonprofit sector be strengthened or weakened by those forces? Third, how can the challenges of grappling with the forces be transformed into opportunities? Philanthropy and the Nonprofit Sector in a Changing America is a product of this inquiry.

Each contributor focused on a variety of pressures: the devolution of federal programs to the state and local levels: the blurring of lines between non-profit and for-profit organizations; the changing distributions of income; major new wealth and its concentration; a revived interest in community and civil society; the evolution of religion and other regulatory reform; and a retreat of government from various policy areas and the rise of privatization and market models. The contributors are Elizabeth T. Boris, Eleanor Brown, Dwight F.
