The 23 grants awarded this year ranged from $2,500 to
$50,000. Since its inception, the fund has awarded $7
million to support 300 research projects. (The deadline to
submit proposals for 2001 awards is October 2, 2000.)
"Nine years ago we began providing support to university-based and other researchers to study nonprofits," said Alan J. Abramson, director of the fund. "We did this because we believe that if nonprofits are to keep up with the ever-changing world and effectively serve clients, then they must be constantly learning. The studies we fund facilitate that learning," Abramson added. "Nonprofits must find new and better ways to improve their practices and enhance their contribution to society."
