  • Describing the Nature of Collaboration in Nonprofit Organizations That Serve the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Community in Texas
    Describing the Nature of Collaboration in Nonprofit Organizations that Serve the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Community in Texas Leonides Gomez Jr. Applied Research Project [email protected] Submitted to the Department of Political Science Texas State University‐San Marcos In Partial Fulfillment for the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Public Administration Spring 2017 i Abstract Purpose The purpose of this research is to describe who nonprofit organizations that serve the LGBTQ community in Texas collaborate with, how and why they collaborate. This research uses the literature to develop a conceptual framework that organizes the nature of collaboration into the following five categories: types of collaborators, models of collaboration, acquisition of resources, improvement of program outcomes, and organizational needs. Data and Methods Data were collected via a web survey to address the nature of collaboration of nonprofit organizations that serve the LGBTQ community in Texas. The survey was distributed to administrators of nonprofit organizations in Texas that serve the LGBTQ community. This survey was sent to 62 administrators, however, 16 of the emails containing the survey bounced. Of the 46 administrators that received the survey, 15 of them completed it. This survey had a response rate of 33%. Findings The results of this research revealed that all nonprofit organizations studied collaborated with at least one public, private and nonprofit organization. While the model of collaboration use varied, most nonprofit organizations that serve the LGBTQ community reported that they collaborate with other nonprofits via a network. There was overwhelming agreement amongst all administrators that collaboration led to the acquisition of resources and the improvement of program outcomes.

  • APPENDIX A5 University of Houston at a GLANCE
    APPENDIX A5 University of Houston AT A GLANCE: Structure: Public University Website: www.uh.edu Established: 1927 Student Body: 36,000 students in nearly 300 undergraduate and graduate academic programs About the Minor in Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies: The GLBT Studies minor at the University of Houston was established in 2008, and is housed within the Department of Women’s Studies. The minor aims to recognize the scholarly importance of GLBT people and their contribution to politics and theory. It offers students a rich interdisciplinary framework in which to understand and critically examine a rapidly expanding and dynamic academic field. The minor allows students to question and analyze the complex roles and implications of sexuality, gender and sexual identity. Supporting the minor, the M. D. Anderson Library contains many holdings significant to GLBT studies, both in the general stacks, and in special collections. APPENDIX B: Core Holdings Descriptions and Notes The 103 core holdings targeted for this proposal are listed below in the following format: Number – Title – Location – Cubic Feet – Condition notes –Content Notes, as available. Collections held at different archives are counted separately. 1. 1977 NOW conference – Botts – 0.1 – Good; need notes. – This conference marked one of the first moments of mass lesbian visibility in the United States (see the work of anthropologist Scott Morgensen).
