23 Nonprofit & Voluntary Sector Q. 1 (1994)

handle is hein.journals/npvolsq23 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITOR'S NOTES T HIS ISSUE of NVSQ contains three articles concerned with the motivations for creating and participating in nonprofit organizations and voluntary social movements. Michael O'Neill provides us with an argument that member benefit orga- nizations should be more centrally included in our discussions of nonprofit organizations-they have been excluded from most discussions concerning the nature of the third sector. O'Neill further suggests, by drawing on the his- torical record, that member benefit might be considered a central feature of all nonprofits. Kim Bloomfield examines Alcoholics Anonymous, asking whether, or in what way, we might consider Alcoholics Anonymous a social movement. Her treatment shows that this question, like O'Neill's examination, raises troubling conceptual and definitional issues. Those who argue that social movements must have a political orientation generally reject self-help groups like Alco- holics Anonymous. Bloomfield draws upon the European identity-oriented paradigm. Natalie J. Webb explores reasons for which corporations might create foundations and relates the formation of corporate foundations to tax policy in the United States. Offering an economic analysis, she shows the close rela- tionship between shifts in tax policy and foundation creation.
