Showcasing Inequalities on the Basis of Race; Nonprofit Art Organizations

Taking a qualitative approach of looking for specific data within a set of organizations that were both POC and PWI, it was determined those to be the two key areas that I would be looking at. Within this, I had taken note of using non-probability sampling, as was the best way to conclusively get the most accurate data possible to format this study. In this study, a total of 40 organizations all throughout the United States. The data accumulated would be based on public records in regards to each organization’s tax form 990 were used. Each of these 990 forms have been released by the organizations into websites, such as Propublica and Guidestar, which were both used to fulfill the data entry. Within establishing a set of key attributes for this study, these are outlined by: race, region, and founding year. It was determined that it would be beneficial run multiple tests on these 40 organizations that would deal with all or any singular attribute as noted. In each test we would specifically look at how both their revenue and contributions particularly correlate to one another and whether it would provide us any further evidence to understand our overall hypothesis.
