Each year, ARNOVA brings together world leading scholars, researchers and educators studying nonprofits, philanthropy, voluntary action, and civil society at its Annual Conference. The breadth of presentations from these scholars and students offers a wide‑ranging view of the most pressing issues, emerging themes, and latest methodological approaches shaping the field.

This catalogue is designed for anyone interested in developments across philanthropy, fundraising, nonprofit management, voluntary action, social enterprise, and civil society –from the local to the global level.

The Catalog of Research includes authors and abstract summaries from ARNOVA’s Annual Conference. The work referenced here belongs to the authors and is best understood in their own terms; please contact them directly to request papers or continue the conversation. Authors’ email addresses appear in parentheses next to each name and affiliation.

Note: abstracts were pulled directly from submitted papers. The catalog can be searched by keywords, author names, or paper titles by opening the PDF and pressing Ctrl+F.
