HOW CAN WE BETTER MEASURE AND ASSESS THE CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDED BY NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS? DO LARGE NONPROFITS OR NONPROFITS THAT USE MORE VOLUNTEERS PRODUCE GREATER BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY ARE LOCATED? DOES THE INTRODUCTION OF A VISTA MEMBER INTO A NONPROFIT INCREASE ITS NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS? THIS PROPOSED PROJECT ADDRESSES THESE QUESTIONS AND OTHERS RELATED TO CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE, VOLUNTEERISM, AND OTHER OUTCOMES. USING NEWLY-RELEASED IRS DATA ON 1.4 MILLION NONPROFIT TAX FORMS OVER THE PERIOD 2010 TO 2014, THE PROJECT WILL CREATE A DATABASE OF THOUSANDS OF MEASURES OF NONPROFIT FINANCES, EXPENDITURES, MISSION, CAPACITY, AND LEADERSHIP. THEN, THROUGH BOTH SIMPLE AGGREGATION AND LEADING-EDGE TEXT ANALYTICS TECHNIQUES, THE PROJECT WILL CREATE NEW COUNTY- AND CITY-LEVEL MEASURES OF CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE (VOLUNTEERISM, NONPROFIT CAPACITY, AND AREA MISSION-FOCUS) BASED ON FEATURES OF THE NONPROFITS LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY. WE WILL THEN ESTIMATE MULTILEVEL MODELS THAT RELATE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF INDIVIDUALS TO THE CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE CREATED BY NONPROFITS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE, ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS, AND LOCAL POLITICIANS, ADMINISTRATORS, ACTIVISTS, AND CITIZENS WOULD ALL BENEFIT FROM A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW NONPROFITS SUPPORT CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND INCREASE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES.
