“…More generally, the self‐regulation mechanisms in the non‐profit sector take different forms, and this varying institutional architecture crucially influences the likelihood of successful coordination, as argued by Prakash and Gugerty (), Aldashev et al. (), and Similon ().…”

This paper systematically reviews the empirical literature on development nongovernmental organisations (NGOs), drawing both on quantitative and qualitative analyses, and constructs a set of basic facts about these organisations. These facts concern the size of the development NGO sector and its evolution, the funding of NGOs, the allocation of NGO aid and projects across beneficiary countries, the relationship of NGOs with beneficiaries, and the phenomenon of globalisation of development NGOs.

“…Up 30 percent from a decade ago, the number of public charities in the United States exceeded one million in 2013 (Urban Institute, 2014). 1 Charity Navigator rates the largest 8000 by identifying nine categories of activity (e.g., animals) and 34 causes (e.g., zoos and aquariums, museums, and homeless services). Its rating reveals that the quality of the charities within each cause varies significantly with about one-third failing industry standards.…”

Information, competition, and the quality of charities

We propose a model of charity competition in which informed giving alone can explain quality heterogeneity across similar charities. It is this heterogeneity that also creates the demand for information. In equilibrium, too few donors pay to be informed; but interestingly, informed giving may increase with the cost of information. This is true if the charitable market is highly competitive or if private consumption is a strong substitute to giving -both of which are supported by evidence.

“…Besides, Prakash and Gugerty (2010) argue that the institutional architecture of voluntary regulation programmes has an important role to play in the governance failures in non-profit organizations. Moreover, in a competitive market for donations, Aldashev et al (2014) show that the stability of fundraising coordination agreements between NPOs are determined by three main characteristics, which are the alliance rule, the possibility of a coalitional or individual deviation from the agreement and the strategic complementarity or substitutability of the fundraising efforts between NPOs. This paper contributes to the literature by analysing the working of two types of self-regulation systems that exist in the non-profit sector in order to acquire a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses: the label and the umbrella mechanisms.…”

Self‐regulation Systems for Npo Coordination: Strengths and Weaknesses of Label and Umbrella Mechanisms

The rise of the non‐profit sector and the increasing competition for funds among its members has increased the need for more transparency, accountability and coordination in fundraising activities. In some countries, self‐regulation has appeared to be the most effective way of meeting these demands and two types of systems have emerged: the labels and the umbrella organizations. This paper analyses their emergence as well as their functioning through four cases studies and highlights their strengths and weaknesses. It shows that despite its willingness, there still remain some gaps that might prevent this sector from achieving those goals.
