Abstract

This report analyses the online survey results from three separate but interrelated issues affecting not-for-profit organisations. The first area is governance structures and practices; the second concerns funding activities and entrepreneurial endeavours; and, the third area focuses on practices affecting managers of volunteers. The intention behind this online survey was to do an initial 'mapping' of the key issues in the Western Australian not-for-profit (NFP) sector. There are significant pressures (both external and internal) being exerted in the third sector in relation to notions of transparency, accountability and value-for-money, These research outcomes will now be followed up by more detailed qualitative case study research to investigate these issues fully. These initial findings are, therefore, exploratory in nature.
