“…I approached the major international development NGOs in the UK using analyses of their income, as well as major talent agencies in the UK and USA. 25 I interviewed staff from NGOs outside the development sector to understand better how changes in that sector fitted into the broader charitable sector. Interviews covered experience in interviewees' current employment and work for previous organisations.…”

There has been a proliferation of celebrity within development publicity, media events and representations, which has received little attention from development scholars. This paper charts the rise of celebrity within development, drawing from over 120 interviews conducted with development, media and celebrity professionals. I examine how the presence of celebrity within development is mediated and the political economy of the celebrity-charity-corporate complex which results. I use these findings to interrogate recent writings on the work of celebrity advocacy in development and demonstrate that understanding the production and construction of celebrity development interventions helps substantially in understanding their effects.

“…Non-profit sector is increasingly transforming into a subject of economic research, from both theoretical [1,2] and pragmatic perspectives [3,4]. It is an expanding field for scholars considering its current extent in many countries and impact on society and economy in terms of people involved, in various ways, in non-profit activities, as employees, volunteers or beneficiaries of NPO initiatives.…”

Non-profit organizations (NPOs) have become increasingly important in the last decade for Romanian society since the state often failed to fulfill some of its social responsibilities. Romania's economic and financial crisis several years ago hardly hit non-profit sector because it led to a significant drop in public spending at the government level and cuts of financing programs from companies, two main donors for NPOs while simultaneously has amplified society's problems and gave rise to new target groups requiring support. This led to an acute need to address sustainability at organizational level since existing sustainability models in the literature are hardly adequate for Romanian context. We developed a model based on literature survey and Romanian experts' interviews, which allow us to identify relevant factors for Romanian non-profit sustainability. Three determinants were considered: Cognitive competence (nine items analyzed), Social awareness (seven items analyzed) and Financial vulnerability (four items analyzed), as well as two types of results: economic and social. The model was tested through an empirical research on 103 Romanian NPOs and on two sub-samples (nongovernment organizations and community based organizations) and found, using univariate and bivariate analysis, that the three considered determinants are correlated and statistically influence Romanian NPOs sustainability.

“…Wiepking (2010) One reason for the low levels of giving to overseas causes compared to domestic causes found in studies such as Schnepf (2009), andAtkinson et al (2012) could be that in many countries there are far more charities with a domestic focus than there are charities with an international focus. This is consistent with Wiepking (2010) who reports that only 16 of the 64 Netherlands charities included in the GNPS data set have an international focus.…”

“…This is the approach followed by both Schnepf (2009), andWiepking (2010). Based on survey data for the UK, Micklewright and Schnepf (2009) Atkinson et al's (2012) focus is primarily on analysing trends over time in giving to overseas development, not drawing inferences about whether donors prefer to give to local or international causes.…”

Abstract:We conduct a field experiment to analyse whether a representative sample of the population has a preference for giving money to an international development charity or to a charity helping families in need in the home country. The majority of participants reveal a preference for giving to the local charity, rather than the international development charity.Participants were given the option of commenting on why they chose the charity they did, and we conduct a qualitative analysis of these responses. We also analyse quantitatively whether participants' individual characteristics are correlated with the choice of charity.
