Inside or Outside "The Beltway" Organizations outside of "the Beltway" were more supportive of the two goals of NPA than were those "inside the Beltway." Organizations outside of DC Importance of Nonprofit Linkages (N = 453) Strengthening Policy Participation (N = 378) Organizations in DC Importance of Nonprofit Linkages (N = 67) Strengthening Policy Participation (N = 54) The Beltway Factor Differences Between Groups Inside and Outside of DC Greatly Needed Needed Frequently Needed Infrequently Not Needed 40% 52% 7% 1% 60% 35% 5% 1% 31% 61% 7% 0% 46% 50% 4% 0% Many of the smaller nonprofits around the nation commented on the lack of cohesion as a sector. Some DC-based groups were quick to point out the current national organizations already working on these issues. Many nonprofits from elsewhere, however, asked for a structure that would permit them to communicate with other nonprofits without the need of a top-down infrastructure. Online Survey Response Respondents completing the survey on-line were generally less supportive of NPA. This is most apparent in a comparison of online vs. paper responses to the first goal of NPA — building better linkages between and among nonprofit organizations.

Building Linkages Between and Among Nonprofits Ninety-two percent of respondents indicated that NPA's first goal, building better linkages between and among nonprofit organizations, was greatly or frequently needed. Over half of all respondents indicated that such linkages were needed frequently. "Right now, we are only able to communicate with the national organizations, but it would be nice to be able to communicate directly with local groups. Our members would be in a better position to take advantage of it, but they could be a middleman. The most useful thing would be electronic communications."
