“…Second, as pointed out by the last two sections, both transparency and political connections serve as signals for the legitimatization of nonprofit organizations (Zhou & Ye, 2019). Nonprofit organizations are likely to get more private donations when the two mechanisms are in place simultaneously.…”

Existing studies assume that the value of political connections is homogeneous to different types of nonprofits and seldom consider their interplay with other accountability mechanisms. Based on a multilevel analysis of 2,085 foundations in China, this study builds and tests a theoretical framework of the contingent value of political connections to nonprofits, treating transparency as a moderator for the relationship between political connections and donations. Our findings suggest that while transparency is positively associated with the amount of donations obtained by foundations, political connections can help foundations obtain more donations only when their transparency score is higher than a certain threshold.

“…The literature also shows that nonprofits are struggling to attract and maintain material and human resources, so these organizations can exploit all the digital era’s advantages to improve fundraising. That is, nonprofits can disclose additional information in their online spaces regarding their activities to build more trust in their relationships with stakeholders and thus increase online and offline donations (Zhou & Ye, 2021 ). Contingency theory suggests that the way nonprofits respond to these technological challenges depends on these organizations’ internal structure and strategies and the external environments in which nonprofits act (Bradshaw, 2009 ).…”

“…This means that when soliciting a voluntary donation, the government‐organized foundations have to compete with their counterparts initiated by private forces, in contrast with the “top‐down” mobilization through working units at the first stage. Second, although the government‐organized foundations are accessible to government funds (Zhou & Ye, 2019), it is relatively limited compared to private donation. Additionally, according to the Charity Law issued by the National People's Congress in 2016, the governments encourage the engagement of foundations in the service‐providing by acquiring resources from private donations.…”

Despite the prominence of financial sustainability as a critical aspect of nonprofit organizations' self‐sustainability being widely recognized, the literature on the drivers of nonprofit financial sustainability is quite limited, particularly for quantitative empirical studies. To address the research gap, we first quantify nonprofit financial sustainability in a real sense, with financial indicators measured by the nexus of long‐term and short‐term, and then systematically examine to what extent the nature, nurture and environmental drivers help to explain financial sustainability. To be specific, by using national data compiled from the Research Infrastructure of Chinese Foundation during 2014 to 2016 and using Random Effect Logit Model, this study finds that foundations registered at the provincial level, being private ones, possessing larger size of total assets with diversified revenue sources, spending more on administration, and located in the more affluent areas are more likely to shape short‐term resilience to the unexpected economic shocks and meanwhile achieve long‐term success in maintaining or expanding services. This study contributes to a better understanding of nonprofit organizations' financial performance, which is beneficial for practitioners to adopt appropriate managerial practices and organizational strategies.
