ABSTRACT INFORMATION ASYMMETRY, ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE, AND PRIVATE GIVING: CAN PERFORMANCE RATINGS BUILD TRUST IN NONPROFITS? By IURII DAVYDENKO August 2020 Committee Chair: Dr. Dennis R. Young Major Department: Public Management and Policy Nonprofit performance report cards, such as charity ratings, have evolved in the third sector as an attractive tool for addressing accountability concerns and improving the sector's effectiveness and efficiency. These performance monitoring services intend to increase the quality of philanthropy by helping donors allocate contributions to high-quality charities and getting organizations to improve their performance. However, we know little about how performance report cards as a policy instrument fulfill their expectations in the nonprofit sector. This research offers a comprehensive study of charity ratings that addresses three sets of questions. First, it explores the information content of charity ratings and assesses the degree of coherence among performance grades assigned by different rating services.

Winter 2013.Pub
Feeding Families, Nourishing Hope… Winter 2013 Message from Nancy Kleinfeldt, Yad Ezra President Yad Ezra’s 23rd dinner honoring Nicole and Matt Lester was an incredible success thanks to the tremendous dedication of Nicole and Matt and all our hardworking volunteers and staff. I want to express my gratitude to everyone involved in the fundraising and planning of this wonderful event. We provide the shortest and perhaps most heartfelt dinner in town. Everyone had plenty of time to mingle, enjoy the strolling buffet and then sit down to listen to some meaningful words. You could also be tucked into bed by 8:30pm or home in time to put your children to bed. Speaking of children, do you know that over 500 children participate in our school lunch assistance program? Any Jewish school that has a regular lunch program qualifies. Akiva, Hillel, Yeshiva Beth Yehudah, Mesifta of Toledo, Lubavitch Cheder, and Yeshiva Gedola all receive funds from Yad Ezra (through grants) to cover the costs of feeding hot lunches to students whose parents can’t afford the meals. Our upcoming spring event, Vanish Hunger, is one of our efforts that helps fund these school assistance programs. I am thrilled to announce that on March 27th we are bringing in Matisyahu, an international bestselling Jewish reggae artist, for an acoustic performance at the Royal Oak Music Theatre. I encourage everyone to attend this event. Let’s sell out the event and One Day Vanish Hunger! Yad Ezra Honored as 2013 Top Rated Non-Profit Yad Ezra Snack Program a Big Hit with Client Families Yad Ezra’s leadership is thrilled to announce that we have been honored with a prestigious 2013 Top-Rated Yad Ezra’s Summer Snack Program, initiated by presi- Award by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user dent Nancy Kleinfeldt, has morphed into a year-round reviews about nonprofit organizations.
