Below are our major research reports that focus on management capacity in the not-for-profit sector.




The Wallace Report

FMA recently partnered with The Wallace Foundation to conduct a study of the administrative management capacity of organizations providing out-of-school time (OST) services. Based on a sample of 16 high-performing programs in New York City and Chicago, the report concludes that many OST providers need additional investment in administrative management capacity in order to most effectively support, develop and expand their programs. While the study focuses specifically on organizations providing OST programs and services, the report’s lessons and observations should be relevant and useful to the broader nonprofit sector as well.

The 2007 Fiscal Operations Survey

FMA, along with our affiliated public accounting firm ERE LLP, recently completed our first annual survey of fiscal management practices of nonprofit organizations in the New York metropolitan area. With nearly 250 respondents, the survey provides interesting and valuable insights into common management practices, as well as tips and ideas from experts at FMA and ERE to help move organizations closer to standards of best practice.
