D)501(c)6 - ✔️✔️Correct-The correct answer is A. Lobbying organizations are 501(c)4s.

501(c)5s are unions. A 501(c)6 is a business league. The organizations we usually have

in mind when we talk about nonprofits are 501(c)3s.

Generally, we pay for and receive the benefit in commerce. Often in a nonprofit setting,

we give and others benefit. Yet in certain settings the bulk of a charity's revenue may

come from those who currently and directly benefit from it. All of these are good

examples EXCEPT



A)a symphony

B)a university

C)a hospital

D)a food bank - ✔️✔️Correct-The correct answer is D. Many successful nonprofits serve

those who have the money. They take in funds as fees or tuition or in ticket sales. In

addition, those served by the nonprofit may donate funds to perpetuate the institution by

which they and their family have been touched. A social service organization, however,

like a food bank, takes in resources from one group and provides them at low or no cost

to those who cannot afford to pay or give much. Over time these social services

organizations have gravitated toward government funding through contracts, grants,

and reimbursement. As such funding declines, as it seems likely to do, this raises the

question of who will step up, why, and how quickly.

Which of these are examples of civic activism, as Salamon uses the phrase?

I. the Civil Rights Movement

II. the Womens Movement - ✔️✔️Correct-The correct answer is C. Both movements are

About how many 501(c)3 organizations are there in the U.S.?



A)over one million

B)between seven hundred thousand and one million

C)between five hundred thousand and seven hundred thousand

D)fewer than five hundred thousand - ✔️✔️Correct-The correct answer is A. The total,

taken from Salamon's data, seems to be a bit more than 1.2 million.

Which of these is the smallest source of donated revenue for nonprofits?



A)living individuals

B)private foundations

C)corporations

D)bequests - ✔️✔️Correct-The correct answer is C. Corporate giving is the smallest

source (5%) of capital.

Carla made a fortune running a Wall Street firm that bought out, rebuilt, and sold

privately held companies. Upon retiring, she started a foundation to apply market

principles to social ills. The foundation targets recidivism: the tendency of convicts to

return to prison having committed further crimes. The foundation buys out a local

bakery, using it to hire and train those recently released from prison. The bakery is set

up as a for-profit with a social purpose. The bakery aims to make 5% return on

investment, and generally makes 1-5% per year. This example best represents which of

Salamon's four poles at work in nonprofits?



A)voluntarism

B)civic activism

C)professionalism

D)commercialism - ✔️✔️Correct-The correct answer is D. This is commercialism, in

Salamon's terminology, since market methods drive the process. Calling it

"commercialism" might be insulting to such a funder. The funder is more likely to use

terms like "social venture," "double bottom line investing," or "social entrepreneurialism."

Which of the sentences below best exemplifies solidarity in the way Salamon uses the

term, as a motive of civic engagement?



A)Tom forms a social venture and engages his employees in making a profit while doing

good.



B)Tammy, a physician, works in a nonprofit hospital serving the poor.
