Public Sector
%/those public institutions and thosepublic wor&s, which though they ay bein the highest degree advantageous to agreat society, are, however, of such a
nature that the profit could never repaythe e'pense to any individual, or sallnuber of individuals0 and which it,therefore, cannot be e'pected that any
individual, or sall nuber of individuals,should erect or aintain.)

hy Nonprofits!
2here are econoic, historical, and political
theories regarding the reason why nonprofit
organi9ations e'ist in today?s society.
Economic Theories:
Market failure " 2his theory is based on thepreise that not enough people desire a serviceor progra to attract for"profit corporations toprovide such services. Also, the fact that anorgani9ation e'ists without a profit"otive instillstrust in the constituent.

Government failure " 2he governent will notprovide a service because of high cost or liitedinterest by the public. If there is not a largepresence of constituents deanding a response
fro governent, then the governent is not li&elyto act. A sall group of individuals can create anonprofit organi9ation to provide utually desiredservices rather then trying to convince a a!orityof citi9ens to support such efforts. 2here is also acultural resistance to @big@ governent. Citi9ensare s&eptical about the governent being involvedin all aspects of counity life.

Historical Theory " Counities in Aerica were
fored well before foral governent. Citi9ens were
forced to coe together to address issues within
their counities and wor& together to for asolution. Even when governent developed a
presence within a counity, citi9ens were afraid of
the bureaucracy and often sought out solutions
through voluntary association. eligion also provides
a strong foundation for charity and altruis through
$cripture and a sense of duty taught within the
church.

Political Science Theory " 3onprofit
organisations provide an avenue for civic
participation. 6eople are able to asseble and
wor& towards a coon goal with an intent to
benefit the public. 3onprofit organisations
provide an outlet for pluralis and solidarity.

In a boo& by Bester $alaon called Aerica?s NonprofitSector , the author concludes that the nonprofit sectore'ists to serve four critical functions8
Service Provision: 3onprofit organi9ations provide
progras and services to the counity. Oftenties, nonprofits are fored or e'panded to react toa counity need not being et by the governent.3onprofits also tend to have the ability to act fasterthen governent in response to an issue. 3onprofitsdo not have to wait for a a!ority of citi9ens to agreeupon a proposed solution. ather, they have theability to react to a speciali9ed need or a reuest by asall group of citi9ens.

Value Guardian: 3onprofit organi9ations
provide a echanis for prooting individual
initiatives for the public good. 3onprofit
organi9ations provide a eans by which ebersof a counity can ta&e action in an attept to
change the counity they live in. 2hese actions
ay ta&e the for of developing a local
neighbourhood watch progra or, on a larger scale,
developing an organisation that responds to world
relief efforts.

Advocacy and Problem Identification :
3onprofit organisations provide a eans for
drawing public attention to societal issues.
3onprofit organi9ations a&e it %possible to
identify significant social and political
concerns, to give voice to under"
represented people and points of view, and

Social a!ital: In Aerica, the nonprofit sector
