“…Hence, organizations need to use the funds carefully that can benefit all the people instead of targeting a single area. In other words, resource allocation is very prominent in NPOs to benefit many people (Sarikaya & Buhl, 2020). For instance, environmental activities need adequate financial resources and incentives for organizations first to recognize favourable opportunities to participate in environmental initiatives (Zhang & Guan, 2018).…”

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become the main priority across the globe due to their significant role in economic growth and propensity. However, in particular, it is not yet known how governments can achieve SDGs through non-profit organisations (NPOs) by providing financial and non-financial incentives. The present study included 263 Pakistan NPOs in a primary survey using a questionnaire. The results obtained from the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) highlight that: (i) government incentives do not directly influence community development; (ii) The government non-financial incentives have a significant direct effect on environmental activities to reduce pollution, energy consumption and waste; (iii) Resource management fully mediates the paths between government incentives and community development while partially mediates environmental activities; and finally, (iv) resource management has a favourable influence both on the goals of community development and environmental activities. This research paper contributes to the knowledge in that government incentives do not have a direct influence on social development, but has an indirect influence through efficient management. Recommendations are that government and public bodies need to support NPOs to engage actively in philanthropic activities. Similarly, NPOs should efficiently utilize and manage the resources to benefit the maximum number of poor and needy individuals.

“…Consistent with prior literature on nonprofit organizations [18,27], allocating resources to fundraising activities is crucial for attracting donations in the environmental nonprofit sector. Activities such as postal and email campaigns, television and internet advertisement, and fundraising events contribute to advertising the actions of an organization and increasing its visibility, which is a necessary condition for soliciting money to finance the cause to which a nonprofit is dedicated Additionally, in line with previous studies, the amount of donations collected by environmental nonprofits is affected by the price of donation [20][21][22].…”

“…In addition, given that the age of an organization is associated with a good reputation [20], the older age of nonprofits typically has a positive effect on the amount of charitable contributions [23,24]. A positive influence on donations is also associated with the amount of fundraising expenses because these expenses have an advertising effect [18,[25][26][27]. Finally, administrative expenses usually have a negative impact on charitable contributions because they are considered a diversion of resources from projects that have an impact for the community and fulfil the promised aim of the nonprofit organization [20,22,24,[28][29][30].…”

Nonprofit organizations operating in the environmental protection and conservation sector face challenging fundraising issues in collecting from individual donors the money needed to accomplish their goals. The purpose of this study was to investigate which organizational factors can play a role in influencing the ability of these organizations to collect charitable contributions. By applying an extended version of the economic model of giving to a sample of 142 environmental nonprofits from the United States, the results of the regression analyses show that the following factors allow these organizations to attract more donations: devoting a high percentage of donations to programs, promoting the organization’s image through fundraising activities, having a large amount of assets that ensures a sustainable financial structure, and providing online information that demonstrates how the organization has dealt with its mission. Moreover, the study reveals that providing high amounts of disclosure on the organization’s website can have a conditional effect on fundraising expenses by boosting the positive effect of these expenses on donations. The results of this study contribute to the debate on the effectiveness of organizational factors in attracting funds from donors willing to support environmental nonprofits.
