Nonprofit Innovation in a Time of Economic Change

The Institute has worked closely with Capital One since its foundation as the J. McDonald Williams Institute. Their generous support funded our first look at place-based philanthropy. We assisted them further in recent years through an in depth analysis of their place-based strategies in New Orleans and Houston. Our latest collaboration involves a white paper that explores innovation in the non-profit community in the wake of the recession of the late 2000s. Focusing on North Texas, this report details the adaptive strategies that local non-profits employed to increase efficiency and effectiveness and reduce costs.
