“…This study focuses on Nepali NGOs, which face several pressures for innovation. For example, new entrepreneurial, not-for-profit companies are increasingly providing services in what was once the domain of NGOs, with a 5-year growth rate of 47.98 compared to a decline of-1.8% for NGOs (Dipendra & Lorsuwannarat, 2021). Additionally, the country is soon graduating to developing country from the least developed country and will start seeing a decline in foreign aid.…”

“…The impact of aid reduction among NGOs in such developments is well documented (Appe & Pallas, 2018; Pallas et al, 2017). Given that NGOs in Nepal heavily rely on foreign aid and financial resources from international non‐governmental organizations (INGOs) (Dipendra et al, 2020; Dipendra & Lorsuwannarat, 2021), they face significant pressure to explore alternative means of financing their activities. There is also a growing call from the public for the transparency and accountability of NGOs.…”

This study examines how NGO board effectiveness and characteristics influence perceptions of innovation in Nepalese NGOs. Surveys of 225 board members found board effectiveness in resource acquisition and monitoring strongly predicted higher innovation perceptions, aligning with theories on the primacy of oversight. However, strategic involvement, diversity, tenure, and organizational characteristics showed insignificant or negative relationships. The strong positive link between resource oversight and innovation highlights the universal importance of this governance role. However, strategic involvement's insignificance suggests it may play a different role in non‐Western contexts based on cultural perspectives. Longer tenure's negative association indicates longevity can stifle innovation, so turnover may better encourage adaptability. Size only weakly predicted innovation, implying other factors like effectiveness are more impactful. While cross‐sectional, the developing country context provides useful insights on optimizing resource acquisition and monitoring to enable innovation. The findings indicate oversight effectiveness and active governance matter more than structural characteristics for NGO innovation.

Despite a rich literature on nonprofit density, the founding and dissolution of nonprofit organizations remains poorly understood. This study explores the founding and dissolution in nonprofit populations including density dependence, resource concentration, government size, and hypothesizes that dissolution creates an entrepreneurial opportunity. The hypotheses are tested using county level data covering the continental US from 2010 to 2016 (N = 21,756). The results show government size, competition, and resource concentration are important for understanding founding and dissolution, and establishes strong support for a link between the events: a one standard deviation increase in the number of dissolutions in a county predicts an increase of 1.5% (CI: .72–2.31) in the nonprofit founding rate. The study highlights ways for public officials to support nonprofit entrepreneurship and calls for renewed interest in ecological applications in contemporary nonprofit populations.
