The phenomenon of closing civic space has adversely impacted international non-governmental organization (INGO) funding. We argue that individual private donors can be important in sustaining the operations of INGOs working in repressive contexts. Individual donors do not use the same performance-based metrics as official aid donors. Rather, trust can be an important component of individual donor support for nonprofits working towards difficult goals. How does trust in charitable organizations influence individuals' preferences to donate, especially when these groups face crackdown? Using a simulated market for philanthropic donations based on data from a nationally representative sample of individuals in the United States who regularly donate to charity, we find that trust in INGOs matters substantially in shaping donor preferences. Donor profiles with high levels of social trust are likely to donate to INGOs with friendly relationships with host governments. This support holds steady if INGOs face criticism or crackdown. In contrast, donor profiles with lower levels of social trust prefer to donate to organizations that do not face criticism or crackdown abroad. The global crackdown on NGOs may thus possibly sour NGOs' least trusting individual donors. Our findings have practical implications for INGOs raising funds from individuals amid closing civic space.

谁在乎镇压?探索信任在个人慈善事业中的作用

关闭公民空间的现象对国际非政府组织 (INGO) 的资助产生了不利影响。我们认为,个人私人捐助者对于维持在压制性环境中工作的国际非政府组织的运作可能很重要。个人捐助者不使用与官方援助捐助者相同的基于绩效的指标。相反,信任可以成为个人捐助者支持致力于实现困难目标的非营利组织的重要组成部分。对慈善组织的信任如何影响个人的捐赠偏好,尤其是当这些团体面临打击时?使用基于美国全国代表性个人样本数据的慈善捐赠模拟市场,这些个人定期向慈善机构捐款,我们发现对 INGO 的信任在塑造捐赠者偏好方面具有重要意义。具有高度社会信任度的捐助者可能会向与东道国政府关系友好的国际非政府组织捐款。如果 INGO 面临批评或打击,这种支持将保持稳定。相比之下,社会信任度较低的捐助者更愿意向在国外没有受到批评或打击的组织捐款。因此,全球对非政府组织的镇压可能会使非政府组织最不信任的个人捐助者感到不安。我们的研究结果对于在关闭公民空间的情况下向个人筹集资金的国际非政府组织具有实际意义。社会信任度较低的捐助者更愿意向在国外没有受到批评或打击的组织捐款。因此,全球对非政府组织的镇压可能会使非政府组织最不信任的个人捐助者感到不安。我们的研究结果对于在关闭公民空间的情况下向个人筹集资金的国际非政府组织具有实际意义。社会信任度较低的捐助者更愿意向在国外没有受到批评或打击的组织捐款。因此,全球对非政府组织的镇压可能会使非政府组织最不信任的个人捐助者感到不安。我们的研究结果对于在关闭公民空间的情况下向个人筹集资金的国际非政府组织具有实际意义。
