“…More recently, governments have shifted their approach towards contractual, tied funding programmes. Ali and Gull (2016) discuss how this has changed the relationship between governments and nonprofits. The emergence of matching grants as a funding strategy can be seen as a simplification of the contractual approach with explicit rules for cofinancing.…”

Government financing of charities influences their fundraising and private donations. To analyze competition between charities, we modify the model of fundraising introduced by Andreoni and Payne, where there are two groups of donors and two charities. We concentrate on warm‐glow motivation for giving and highlight strategic interaction in the market for donations. The charities are output‐maximizing, producing services with a purchased input and in‐house managerial supervision. In the absence of public funding, fundraising by charities are strategic complement given fixed costs. We show that block grants can change the nature of the competition, making fundraising strategic substitutes if grants exceed fixed costs. A charity receiving a grant will optimally reduce its fundraising, but the level of service provision will also be affected by the fact that the competing charity will solicit more intensively. The competitor will deliver more services because it benefits from the reduction in solicitation by the grant recipient. In this setting, matching grants work much like block grants as charities in both cases will compete less intensively for donations. That is, incentives for fundraising are weaker with matching grants. However, if both instruments are used the impact of a matching grant depends on whether the block grant over‐ or undercompensates for fixed costs. An optimal funding policy must account for this interaction effect as well as the fungibility of support working through charity competition in the market for donations.

“…Moreover, even though government funding (among other resources) constitutes an important funding source to the NGOs [40], the impacts of the government funding on the NGOs in terms of advantages (like stability) and disadvantages (like underperformance) have received a mixed response from the scholars: the impacts of government funding on NGOs depend upon several factors such as age, size, sector, demography, and political, economic and social environments of an NGO [40][41][42]. Even greater professionalisation, which may go hand-in-hand with governmental funding, can cause NGOs to gradually diverge from being well integrated into their communities and largely voluntary towards being bureaucratised organisations that deliver services on behalf of the government [43].…”

Government-Funded Sustainable Development and Professionalisation of NGOs

2020

This paper addresses the first financial initiative of the Slovenian government for the professionalisation and development of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to promote sustainability in the third sector. The measure was the result of the Non-Governmental Organisations Act, adopted in 2018, and was followed by the Development strategy of non-governmental organisations and volunteering until 2023 (DSNGOV). The state’s contribution to an increased level of professionalisation was welcomed by NGOs because, compared to other EU28 states, which have an average employment rate of 4.18%, Slovenia is far behind, with only 0.82% of its active working population being employed in the NGO sector. In May 2018, the Ministry of Public Administration released invitations to fund projects for the development and professionalisation of NGOs and voluntary service, providing grants for 100 NGO jobs. The final project results were compiled in March 2020, and the findings were evaluated in 29 survey reports in April 2020. The research focused on the occupations for which employees were sought, legal forms of the applicant NGOs and recruitment methods. The results demonstrate that the state measure was successful, as 69% of the funded jobs were sustained. However, most of the retained jobs were filled by those who were previously employed in the NGO sector (84.6%), so the employment rate has barely risen.

“…Pendanaan merupakan masalah yang kompleks bagi setiap LSM baik yang berskala kecil maupun besar. LSM mem-peroleh segala jenis pendanaan dari luar negeri seperti World Bank, Lembaga Donor Nasional seperti Ford Foxundation, dan pendanaan dari pemerintah dan individu serta dari anggota organisasi itu sendiri (Ali, 2016). Masalah umum yang dihadapi adalah timbulnya ketergantungan LSM kepada para pemberi dana asing.…”

Public confidence in NGOs has decreased in a number of countries, reported from the trust barometer data in 2018 17 of 28 countries experienced a decline in the level of trust in NGOs. One reason for the reduced level of public confidence in NGOs which has led to the inhibition of NGO funding is accountability. The aim of this research is to investigate the funding and the accountability phenomenon of NGOs that carry out community development in the East Nusa Tenggara region. This research method uses interview techniques with interviewees who are directly positioned as accountant advisors on the NTA. The results of this study provide evidence that the level of accountability influences the level of trust of funders in providing their funds for future NGO programs.
