Abstract of the Dissertation
Information and Donations: A Study of Nonprofit Online Communication
Dissertation Chair, Dr. Gregg Van Ryzin
The question of how to increase individual donations is one of the biggest challenges facing nonprofit organizations. Although research shows that many factors can motivate individuals to donate, little is known about how nonprofits use information to actually increase donations. Using a mixed-methods design, this dissertation employs behavioral theories of charitable giving to first explore 1) the types of information communicated by nonprofit organizations with the public, and 2) how these communication efforts influence individual giving decisions.
As a first step in examining these issues, this dissertation collected tweets communicated between the public and all nonprofits on the Topnonprofits.com 100 list, which ranks organizations by social media impact, website traffic, and Charity Navigator ratings. The big data analyses of these tweets show that there are four main types of communicated information: mission-related information, direct requests for donations, financial information and performance-related information. The results also show that mission-related information and direct requests are more frequently communicated than the other two types of information. A cheap information model is then proposed to explain why mission-related information and direct requests are communicated more frequently.
Next, the dissertation tests whether (and to what extent) the frequencies of each type of information about an organization are associated with the public attitudes toward that organization. Multivariable regressions find no significant associations between frequencies of information communicated and public attitudes toward nonprofits.
Finally, an online conjoint experiment is employed to explore the extent to which manipulation of the different types of informational messages (e.g., higher/lower evaluated missions, with/without direct requests, higher/lower program ratios, and higher/lower performance ratings) either boosts or decreases donations. These experimental results suggest that individuals are more likely to donate to a nonprofit with a higher evaluated mission, with direct requests, with higher program ratios and with a higher performance rating.
The results of this dissertation shed new light on the relationship between organizational information and individual donations. In addition to new theoretical insights, the findings from this dissertation should provide practical advice for nonprofit organizations on how to communicate information with donors more effectively.

Abstract of the Dissertation
Equity as an Outcome: The Use of Performance Information to Address the Achievement Gap in Higher Education for Men of Color
Dissertation Chair, Dr. Gregg Van Ryzin
Social equity, often understood to be the third pillar of public administration, relies on the values of fairness and equality in the delivery of public services. Nevertheless, these are intangible features that are often more difficult to measure than efficiency and effectiveness. The higher education system in the U.S. is an ideal area to examine the equitable delivery of a public service, especially given its importance in a knowledge economy and the persistent race gap in education access and achievement. Therefore, this study looks at the use of performance information by administrators of men of color initiatives in U.S. colleges and universities as a way to address equity concerns and outcomes.
This study began by using a qualitative research design consisting of semi-structured interviews in the first phase, followed by a quantitative research design with an exploratory factor analysis and bivariate correlation in the second phase of data collection. Men of color diversity programs were stratified into Ivy League institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), university systems, community colleges, and senior colleges. There were six senior college administrators, three community college administrators, four HBCU administrators, one Ivy League administrator, and one university system administrator interviewed, resulting in a total of 15 administrators. Once the initial qualitative phase of the data collection was completed, an online survey was developed based in part on the interview findings, and sent to a list of 140 men of color initiative administrators nationwide. The response rate for the survey was 45%.
The quantitative results provide unique and original data on the program design, number of students participating, structural/institutional barriers, and outcomes of men of color initiatives across the US. Interestingly, the results from the qualitative phase of the study indicates that equity is not generally measured, exposure to informal mentoring shaped how administrators designed their programs, representativeness is critical to ensuring diversity, and institutional commitment is necessary for men of color initiatives to succeed. While the results from the quantitative phase confirms these findings, it also emphasizes that mentoring is the most widely used service or activity for men of color initiatives, retention rates, and graduation rates are the two most widely collected data points; equity, efficiency, and effectiveness outcomes can co-exist without tension. Overall, this study has provided deeper insight into the challenges of including equity into the practice of performance measurement and management.
