The Institute for Nonprofit Research, Education and Engagement (INPREE)

Our mission is to enhance the capacity and leadership of nonprofit organizations through research, education and engagement.

We connect NC State University with the nonprofit community, leveraging the expertise and dedication of faculty, students, staff and community partners to build nonprofit capacity and develop nonprofit leaders.

We serve as a center of expertise, generator of knowledge, and host of a collaborative and diverse community of scholars.

Institute offers support for research on membership associations

The Institute for Nonprofit Research, Education and Engagement is offering free datasets and competitive awards to academic researchers as part of a partnership with ASAE: the Center for Association Leadership and the ASAE Foundation. The Institute is the international administrator and clearinghouse for ASAE datasets.

The data now available for research cover such topics as member compensation, association policies and procedures, volunteering and giving, and diversity and inclusion. Scholars from around the world can access these datasets and the research findings through the Institute and use them in their research.
