Is Doing Better Always Good? the Impact of Perceived Nonprofit Competence on Altruistic Donation Motivations

We show that when nonprofits signal increased levels of competence, altruistic individuals will respond less favorably to them as compared to when nonprofits were perceived as less competent.
