CEO Dissatisfaction with Nonprofit Boards

Boards of Midsize Nonprofits - Their Needs and Challenges:

Nonprofit boards are increasingly a focus of those interested in nonprofit accountability and transparency, including policymakers, the media, researchers, and the public.

Likewise, policy proposals and best practice guidelines often seem designed with large organizations in mind, raising concern among representatives of smaller organizations who feel the proposals may be inappropriate for their institutions.

The discussion uses data from our Urban Institute National Survey of Nonprofit Governance, the first national representative survey of governance in the United States.

This brief focuses on the subset of 1,862 organizations in that survey that have annual expenses between $500,000 and $5 million, hereafter referred to as 'midsize' nonprofits.

Nonprofits in this size range make up approximately one in five public charities that file the Internal Revenue Service Form 990 (Pollak and Blackwood 2007).

In particular, the brief addresses the following broad questions:

* How actively engaged are midsize nonprofits’ board members, and what factors promote greater engagement?

* How well do midsize nonprofits perform various responsibilities, and what factors promote stronger performance?

* Who serves on midsize nonprofits’ boards, and what populations might they target to expand their pool of potential members?
