dc.description.abstract | A social welfare nonprofit organization is a formal organization with a legal personality and has set goals and operational strategies by its mission. In this study, three social welfare nonprofit organizations were selected as case studies. Documentary analysis, secondary data analysis, and in-depth interviews were used to investigate how people-oriented social welfare nonprofit organizations can bring into play the power of citizens with their missions and visions, and form a support network for society in various emergencies when the COVID-19 epidemic rises in Taiwan. The government formulates various policies to prevent the pandemic. We also analyze the challenges and changes that social welfare nonprofit organizations must face after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The findings of this paper can be divided into three parts: First, welfare nonprofit organizations have demonstrated an unhurried strategy in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, and despite the impact of the pandemic on their original operations and daily service work, they have persevered in their mission to overcome the problems and challenges. These regulations restricted the original business strategies of social welfare nonprofits, making it necessary for them to quickly adapt various innovative practices to replace their old models of operation, and the pandemic also facilitated and deepened digital transformation. In the third part, social welfare nonprofit organizations, despite the initial reduction in fundraising during the COVID-19 pandemic, were able to make up for their financial shortfalls when the situation was under control and the economy rebounded. Finally, summarizing the findings of this paper, this study proposes recommendations for social welfare nonprofit organizations and the government respectively, to provide a reference for the future development of social welfare nonprofit organizations. | en_US |
