community. So, in some instances, you know, you would invite the investor down and
they would sit with you and see kind of How your program works, you know, what is
involved? Who is affected? Who's being helped, and how you're getting them the
resources.
This shows the participant’s the knowledge related to incentivizing private investment in non-profit
initiatives. The participant is clear on the importance of private investment. This
knowledge of the importance of the organizational goal provides a foundation for developing the
programming necessary to incentivize private investment. Participant 4 remarked, “it would be
similar to commercial ventures in that they (private investors) would want to see a direct
relationship between the investment, good work and a good return.” This sentiment is generally
shared among the other participants, including Participant 6, who stated, “ [if an investor] does
not understand a non-profit or the non-profit’s goal and how it’s connected to the investor, that
may have an impact on their willingness to invest.” The data makes it clear that the participants
had a strong conceptual knowledge of the problem of practice presented in the study.

| Abstract | This qualitative study evaluated the steps necessary for a non-profit organization to incentivize private investment in its non-profit initiatives. The research questions for this study examined the knowledge, motivation and organizational factors that influenced the Community Cooperative’s efforts to incentivize private investment in its non-profit initiatives. The research methods included interviews with the Board of Directors of the Community Cooperative and a document review. The researcher received unanimous approval by the Board of Directors to conduct the study and gained approval through school leadership and the university’s Institutional Review Board. ❧ The data analysis produced several themes. These themes were that the Board of Directors possessed procedural knowledge gaps and self-efficacy motivational gaps. Additionally, the organizational settings did not provide enough structural support or accountability. Without enough structural support and accountability, the organization could develop ideas but failed to execute on those ideas. These themes were exhibited by the stakeholders’ inability to collect data and create programming that incentivized private investment in its non-profit initiatives. ❧ Recommendations included allocating resources towards the development of programming and data collection that incentivize private investment. The other recommendation includes providing training for the stakeholders in the organization so that they learn how to execute the steps required to achieve the organizational goal. |
