IS creates Giving and Volunteering Research Clearinghouse

The Independent Sector has added a page to its web site that provides quick links to nearly 400 research studies on a broad variety of topics of interest to nonprofits. A growing number of researchers at universities, nonprofit organizations, foundations, and in many states and regions in the United States and around the world are delving deeper into the national giving and volunteering trends.

As a service to the field, Independent Sector maintains the Giving and Volunteering Research Clearinghouse, which offers brief descriptions of and links to these myriad resources to give nonprofit and foundation leaders, media, and scholars access to a comprehensive listing of local, state, national, and international research works on charitable behavior.
