This study reports on the discussions at a CPRN Roundtable, where 35 people who know the sector gathered to review the findings of three research papers commissioned by CPRN on the size and scope of the nonprofit sector, organizational and supervisory law and the tax treatment of nonprofits. The study also includes three essays: two on the definition of the sector, and a third, which positions the Roundtable deliberations in the context of recent public policy discussions and the growing academic literature on the nonprofit sector.
