“…Funders include the government, as well as other sources, such as social fundraising, sponsorship, and donations. At the same time, NGOs may obtain funding through market activity income ( 41 ). In addition, international assistance is also an important source of funding for NGOs in developing and underdeveloped countries ( 42 , 43 ).…”

IntroductionIn the field of protecting children with autism, NGOs have become a major force that cannot be ignored. Although NGOs for children with autism have expanded the number and improved the quality of the services they provide, a large number of autistic children still cannot achieve the goal of social inclusion in China. The existing literature has mostly tried to explain the reason from the perspective of the common characteristics of NGOs and has paid insufficient attention to the huge differences between these NGOs, so it is impossible to identify the obstacles that children with autism encounter accurately.MethodsFrom the perspective of NGO classification, this study conducted an in-depth investigation of 4 NGO cases in City N, China, to show the impact of the difference of NGOs on the obstacles to the social inclusion of autistic children.ResultsThe research has found that under the authoritarian regime, NGOs for children with autism that rely heavily on external funds include three common groups: government-oriented NGOs, foundation-supported NGOs, and individual-financed NGOs. The structural characteristics of the funders and their interaction with the NGOs for children with autism shape their different action logics, as the result that the desire of children with autism to integrate into society cannot be achieved as expected.DiscussionThe results of this study give more accurate insights into the barriers in social service provision for children with autism that impede their social inclusion and provide a reference for those seeking a solution to this problem.

“…Managers and staff in small NGOs are facing high levels of complexity in their operating environment, exacerbated by funding arrangements that have varying lengths, reporting requirements, and multiple geographic boundaries, and ongoing funding uncertainty. This has resulted in a shift away from helping clients, and instead, time and energy is spent applying for and reporting on funding (Clancey & Westcott, 2017).…”

The assets of the foundation can be in the form of money or goods, whether it comes from donations, endowments, grants, will grants and other acquisitions that do not conflict with the Foundation's Articles of Association or the prevailing laws and regulations. The foundation must periodically make an accountability report for the funds obtained from donors in detail related to the planned use of funds receipts and expenditure plans. Foundation funding assistance is usually a non-permanent aid, so institutions will be very vulnerable to financial difficulties if the expenditure is greater than the incoming funds, especially during the current pandemic. Foundation management must be able to think critically in strategic financial plans for foundation funds, so that if the funds they have are limited they will be able to allocate them appropriately and efficiently.

“…11 The low level of OPM utilisation by non-acute health charities is surprising considering not-for-profit sectors face increasing demands for governance, accountability and service standards to be in-line with for-profit and government entities. [22][23][24] Research has considered barriers or factors that have limited OPM uptake by not-for-profits. 15,16,25 Some scholars suggest there are deeply ingrained cultural beliefs that restrict modern practices in not-for-profit organisations and cite beliefs that not-for-profit organisations will risk losing their special virtues if they adopt corporate models.…”

The non-acute health charity sector forms part of the global health services industry. Organisational Performance Measurement (OPM) is fundamental for modern business to achieve sustained excellence yet is under-utilised by non-acute health charities. The Non-Acute Health Charity Performance Implementation Framework (NCPI Framework) was developed to support non-acute health charities undertaking OPM. A non-acute health charity case study undertook a 12-month OPM implementation process using the NCPI Framework. This study had three aims. Firstly, to understand the perceptions of staff employed by the case study organisation regarding their experience of the 12-month NCPI Framework implementation process, secondly to identify whether an interrelationship existed between the NCPI Framework’s implementation elements and the staff’s perspectives, and thirdly, identify areas of strength and improvement which could enhance the NCPI Framework’s effectiveness. Data were collected post implementation and analysed thematically from open-ended question responses from an anonymous survey and semi-structured interviews. Participants supported the introduction of OPM and valued the NCPI Framework’s structured implementation guidelines. Six interrelated themes were identified: clarity, adaptability, alignment, transparent communication, capability and accountability. Participants suggested adaptations to enhance the NCPI Framework’s impact. A culture aligned with organisational learning was identified as potentially having a positive impact on the NCPI Framework’s implementation. The NCPI Framework may also have relevance and application to the non-profit industry beyond non-acute health care and for use in program development and service quality initiatives.
