“…To examine SXH policy adoption among nonprofits, we draw on data from a statewide survey of public charities and private foundations in Ohio (Beaton, 2020; Beaton et al, 2020). In the U.S., states have the authority to pass policies that regulate SXH beyond that of the federal government.…”

The nonprofit sector strives to be a virtuous and transparent space, one that is diverse, inclusive, and welcoming. Still, inappropriate and exclusionary behaviors can and do occur in nonprofits-one of which is sexual harassment (SXH). Currently, little research on SXH in the nonprofit sector exists, and even less is known about the steps taken by nonprofits to protect their employees and stakeholders from SXH. This study examines rates of SXH policy adoption among nonprofits and the relationship between SXH policy adoption and organizational characteristics. Drawing from a state-wide survey, we find that there is wide variation among nonprofits in their adoption of a written SXH policy. Organizations that have full-time employees, more revenue, and greater capacity are more likely to have a policy. Organizations that serve women are no more likely to have a policy; however, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender-serving organizations are more likely to have a policy. We discuss the implications of these results, including the conceptualization of SXH as part of the broader issues of discrimination, harassment, and bullying in nonprofits.

“…First, we contribute to the growing PPP literature. Prior research examines the barriers to participation (e.g., Humphries et al 2020;Birdthistle and Silver 2021;Beaton et al 2020), employment outcomes (e.g., Autor et al 2022;Bartik et al 2021;Bartlett and Morse 2021;Chetty et al 2020;Cole 2022;Doniger and Kay 2021;Granja et al 2022;Humphries et al 2020), and the role of loan originators (e.g., Ballew et al 2021;Erel and Liebersohn 2022;Griffin et al 2023).…”

Nonprofit Organizations’ Financial Obligations and the Paycheck Protection Program

2023

We examine nonprofit organizations’ involvement in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The PPP provided participants with forgivable loans to pay employee salaries, increasing participants’ financial flexibility during the pandemic. We examine the associations between nonprofits’ prepandemic financial obligations (e.g., long-term debt and donor-restricted net assets) and PPP participation and participants’ loan characteristics. First, we find nonprofit organizations participated at a lower rate than other small business industries and that nonprofits with greater financial obligations were more likely to participate in the program. Second, we find financial obligations were positively associated with the loan amount received as a percentage of total payroll costs. Last, although approximately 11% of nonprofits failed to obtain loan forgiveness, we find nonprofits with restricted net assets were more likely to have their loans forgiven. Our results suggest nonprofits with greater debt and donor obligations used the PPP to increase their financial flexibility. This paper was accepted by Ranjani Krishnan, accounting.

“…For example, various surveys and studies, if updated periodically, will be helpful in understanding the full extent of the losses and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Midway through 2020, a survey by the Ohio State University and Philanthropy Ohio found that 10% of sampled nonprofits in Ohio were considering shutting down or had already done so (Beaton, Colchin and Ma, 2020). An analysis by Candid projected a median figure of 7% closures nationally, with as much as 38% possible (Harold, 2020).…”
