Abstract

Statistics reveal nonprofit organizations as major employers and major sources of employment growth in countries throughout the world. Although the sources of financial support present different weight, it is a fact that donors and other stakeholders became more interested in obtaining information about efficiency and effectiveness on applying resources. This research measures in what extent the information pointed as relevant in literature to rate the performance of nonprofit organization is available in official websites of nonprofit organizations acting in Portugal. This study provides a pioneer view about the level of divulgation of performance tools available to nonprofit stakeholders, at Portugal.
