This paper explores the link between nonprofit financial support and the service quality of city park systems. Specifically, this research constructs a longitudinal dataset and utilizes the fixed effects model to empirically investigate the relationship between nonprofit financial support for major US city parks and service quality. The findings show that the level of nonprofit financial support to city parks has a positive relationship with two major indicators of city park service quality: the size of parkland and the public access to parks. However, a small statistically significant relationship is found for the number of playgrounds in parks and the level of nonprofit financial support. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of government–nonprofit relationships which heavily emphasize the resource flow from park-supporting charities to governments. It also improves our empirical knowledge of the general associations between public service provision and nonprofit organizations in urban areas.

非营利作为补充:检查非营利财务支持与公共服务质量之间的联系

本文探讨了非营利性财政支持与城市公园系统服务质量之间的联系。具体而言,本研究构建了一个纵向数据集,并利用固定效应模型对美国主要城市公园的非营利性财政支持与服务质量之间的关系进行了实证研究。研究结果表明,非营利性财政对城市公园的支持水平与城市公园服务质量的两个主要指标:公园面积和公众进入公园的机会呈正相关。然而,公园中游乐场的数量和非营利组织的财政支持水平之间存在小的统计显着关系。这项研究有助于对政府-非营利关系的理论理解,这种关系非常强调从支持公园的慈善机构到政府的资源流动。它还提高了我们对城市地区公共服务提供与非营利组织之间一般关联的经验知识。
