New Study Examines How 20 Nonprofits Managed Growth in Face of Funding Restraints, Other Obstacles
Distribution Source : ArriveNet
Date : Tuesday - April 19, 2005

Boston, MA -- (ArriveNet - Apr 19, 2005) -- Any youth-serving nonprofit that attempts to expand the size of its operations and increase the numbers of young people served should be prepared for a roller coaster ride that at times might lead management to question why they started down this path. However, according to the findings of a new study of 20 nonprofits that have successfully expanded, those willing to navigate the 'chutes and ladders' of growth can emerge larger, better staffed and structured, although still struggling to maintain sufficient funding to ensure their long-term viability.

The study, being released today, was conducted by The Bridgespan Group for the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation to help both organizations understand the dynamics of growth for nonprofits that rely almost exclusively on grants and charitable donations to fund their operations. The study looked at how organizations grow, and how expansion affects their financial and organizational structure, as well as other factors that help or hinder their growth. "

(CSRwire) WASHINGTON � As adults pay their taxes on Friday, millions of younger Americans are making their own weekend contributions to the nation's health, education, human service, and environmental needs for the 17th annual National Youth Service Day. In the shadow of record deficits and shrinking social services, young people are stepping up to the plate to strengthen their communities through an intense display of community service projects valued at more than $200 million in volunteer time.

Researchers for Independent Sector estimated in 2004 that the value of a volunteer hour has climbed to $17.55 per hour. Youth Service America and its 115 National Partners who organize National Youth Service Day estimate that more than 3 million young people will volunteer this year.
