AbstractBecause there are many possible uses of history and conceptions of what constitutes historical inquiry, there can be no single description of "historical research for the nonprofit sector." Nonprofit researchers, like all nonprofit leaders, cannot avoid having views of historical development; neither can they avoid the necessity of drawing conclusions from incomplete and indeterminate evidence, just as all historians must do. Students of the Nonprofit sector might want to pay particular attention to questions raised by legal and economic history (others have made much of the relevance of social and intellectual history). Most generally, historical materials and perspectives are especially relevant to the education of nonprofit leaders.

Every question concerning U.S. nonprofit organizations and its nonprofit sector as a whole has a historical dimension. Changing state and federal laws have always determined both what nonprofit corporations and associations can do and who can join and lead them. Conflicts over individual freedom, the nature of government, the role of various religions, race, ethnicity, class, gender, and other matters have always shaped these laws. Learning about the nonprofit sector has just begun, but large numbers of books and data sources—many noted in this article—are relevant. Numbers of nonprofit employees grew from near zero to 1% of the U.S. labor force in 1900, to 3% in 1960, and 9% in 2000. Consumer wealth, steadily increasing government subsidies, and expanded individual rights explain the growth. The sector limits religious and other cultural conflicts and promotes diversity, while increasing inequality.

Der Beitrag analysiert das Verhältnis zwischen dem amerikanischen Staat und den gemeinnützigen Nonprofit-Organisationen. Anhand einer historischen Untersuchung dieser Institution soll die Frage geklärt werden, in welchem Umfang wohlhabende Amerikaner über "philanthropy" ihre Interessen in der Gesellschaft verwirklichen. Die verfügbaren Daten zu den amerikanischen Nonprofit-Organisationen zeigen folgende Sachverhalte: (1) Die Geldsummen, die insgesamt für philanthropy ausgegeben wurden, waren niemals besonders groß. (2) Die großen Schenkungen gingen immer an Nonprofit-Organisationen, die aber weniger von privaten Geschenken als vielmehr von den selbsterwirtschafteten Einnahmen abhängig waren und gleichzeitig umfangreiche staatliche Unterstützungen erhielten. (3) Die Nonprofit-Organisationen waren immer ein Objekt politischer Kontrolle, die seit den 60er Jahren sowohl limitiert als auch ausgedehnt wurde. Staat und Nonprofit-Organisationen haben sich damit von Anfang an ergänzt, und der Anteil des amerikanischen Staates an der Finanzierung sozialer Dienstleistungen wuchs kontinuierlich an. (ICA)
