Listening Post

The Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies has undertaken an ambitious multi-year effort to determine how nonprofit organizations are responding to crucial challenges. Working with a number of national nonprofit intermediary organizations, the Listening Post Project has recruited 1,000 nonprofit agencies to serve as organizational "listening posts" on important pressures and changes affecting nonprofit organizations and promising responses organizations are making to them. By surveying these agencies and disseminating the resulting findings quickly to nonprofit managers, policymakers, and other researchers, this project will spur a more informed dialogue that will encourage greater experimentation among nonprofit practitioners and more effective public policy.
