Selected capstone research project presentations by students of the University of San Francisco's School of Management - Master of Nonprofit Administration (MNA).

The projects presented include:

1. Transparency in Pay: How Nonprofit Organizations and Leaders can Support Employees Through A Culture of Openness by Connor Daugherty. This project focuses on how well nonprofit organizations are doing at showing pay and benefits as well as looking at how ready normal employees are for this change. A review of current literature combined with this data paints a picture of how nonprofit leaders can be prepared for this change and what pay transparency may look like in the Third Sector.

2. Private School, Public Purpose: Service-Learning & Social Responsibility in Independent Schools by Whitney Hofacker. This study examines the impact that service programs and service-learning curriculum have on private secondary school students. It reviews the notion of “private school with a public purpose” a common phrase for private schools cauterizing their missions to impact the communities around them in a positive and sustained way.

3. The Golden Gate Greenway: Coalition-Building for Greenspace Equity by Emma Jarvis. This study follows the real-world example of a coalition of nonprofits advocating for a new park in the Tenderloin, leveraging a street closure granted by the city’s COVID-19 response.

4. How America’s Largest Nonprofit and For-Profit Companies are Prioritizing CSR and DEI in their External Communications by Colette Zepponi. This project is an analysis of how the wealthiest for-profit and nonprofit companies are integrating CSR and DEI practices into their external (public-facing) communications and overall business strategies.
