The Tropman Fund for Nonprofit Research

(Applied Research)

The mission of The Tropman Fund for Nonprofit Research is to support applied research on strategic issues that are likely to have profound effects on nonprofit management and governance, especially among human service and community development organizations.

The Tropman Reports are brief research abstracts outlining such topics as strategic planning, social enterprise readiness, and public policy.
