“…However, many NPOs today have a dynamic nature and are constantly evolving. Intense competition in the nonprofit sector and the fact that donors have more than one option to choose force them to adapt to the changes in the modern world (Fedorova and Rotanova, 2019). Similarly, we found that all NPOs have dynamic structures and contemporary applications within the bazaars they organize.…”

“…In addition to these, NPOs are dynamic and always changing in the modern world. The nonprofit sector faces intense competition, and the fact that donors have multiple options forces them to innovate to keep up with current trends (Fedorova and Rotanova, 2019). Similarly, we identified that both religion-based and secular NPOs have modern applications and dynamic structures within the bazaars they organize.…”

Purpose In the extant literature, the concepts of charity and philanthropy have been differentiated based on the belief that charity stems from religious motivations and philanthropy is often secular in origin. Accordingly, this paper aims to investigate whether there is a distinction between managerial practices regarding the given concepts as emphasized in the conceptual discussions. Design/methodology/approach To see the managerial practices, the authors determined bazaars, community fundraising events organized by nonprofit organizations (NPOs), as the research field. Then, this study followed the general systematic of qualitative research. Accordingly, the authors conducted 44 interviews with experienced bazaar organizers from 10 NPOs in total. Furthermore, four days of participant observation with field notes were made in each bazaar, which lasted from 7 to 10 days. This study also used archival data as a secondary data source and then analyzed all data with a content analysis technique. Findings This study found that the field practices mainly do not support the distinction drawn over the conceptual discussions. Both concepts are nouns describing the act of giving and helping the needy. They are actively performed based on different motives (religion-based and secular). Originality/value The relevant distinction is limited to the conceptual discussions and has not been supported by the findings obtained from the field. Also, most of the studies on helping were carried out in the Western context. Studies conducted outside these cultures are quite limited. The value of the current study lies in the fact that it was conducted in a cultural context different from the Western cultures and paves the pathway for future research.
