    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts BEYOND THE CONGREGATION: CHRISTIAN NONPROFITS IN THE UNITED STATES A Dissertation in Sociology by Christopher P. Scheitle © 2008 Christopher P. Scheitle Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2008 The dissertation of Christopher P. Scheitle was reviewed and approved* by the following: Roger Finke Professor of Sociology and Religious Studies Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee John McCarthy Professor of Sociology Head of the Department of Sociology David Baker Professor of Education and Sociology Timothy Pollock Associate Professor of Management *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii Abstract The unit of analysis in the organizational study of religion has primarily been congregations and denominations. However, a population of organizations with a religious mission or identity has developed that exists outside of these traditional structures. Many of these organizations have more resources than many denominations, but have received little attention theoretically or empirically. The following chapters rely on original data for over 1,900 hundred of the largest Christian nonprofits based in the United States. Drawing upon theory in the study of organizations, social movements and religion I address three underlying research questions. First, when and why did these organizations rise? While adjectives such as “new” or “proliferating” are often used when talking about religious non-profit

  • Report on Charitable Organizations in Mississippi
    Report on Charitable Organizations in Mississippi ERIC CLARK October 2005 Secretary of State STATE OF MISSISSIPPI A Message from the Secretary of State Dear Fellow Mississippians, We have a nationally renowned reputation for our generosity here in Mississippi, often ranking number one in the nation when it comes to supporting charities. That’s why we at the Secretary of State’s Office think it’s important to provide you with this, the 2005 edition of the Report on Charitable Organizations in Mississippi. We want you to be able to make informed choices when you contribute to charitable organizations. And, we’ve worked with the charity community to give you a clear and accurate picture of our state’s charitable organizations’ financial activity for their most recent fiscal year. The Council of Better Business Bureaus suggests that reasonable use of charitable funds requires that: At least sixty-five percent (65%) of total expenses is spent on program activities directly related to the organization’s purposes; and Fundraising costs do not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of related contributions. An organization not meeting one or more of these percentage limitations should provide evidence to demonstrate that its use of funds is reasonable. Higher fundraising and administrative costs of a bingo charity or a newly created organization, donor restrictions on the use of funds, exceptional bequests, a stigma associated with a cause, and environmental or political events beyond an organization’s control are among the factors which may result in costs that are reasonable, although they do not meet these percentage limitations. Please call my office at (601) 359-1350 or (888) 236-6167 if you have any questions or comments about this report or any other charities issue.
