Nonprofit Organizational Sustainability in Bounded Contexts: A Case Study on an Appalachian Arts Organization

Abstract Details

2017, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Arts Policy and Administration.
What follows is an exploration into the realities of organizational management and sustainability for Appalachian arts organizations and non-profits. Using a single selective sociological descriptive case study of an Appalachian arts organization, I gathered data pertaining to the processes of fundraising and community engagement. Along with this data gathering comes a post-industrial retrospective of Appalachia history and a self-reflection of my identity and voice as an Appalachia to establish a bounded Appalachian context. Literature concerning community engagement, fundraising and organizational theory was considered to further develop my lens. All of this was executed in the hopes of discovering an organizational model that would best equip Appalachian and other disenfranchised and disadvantaged arts and culture organizations and institutions to become and/or remain successful and impactful parts of their communities.
