The literature suggests that nonprofit organizations provide civic benefits by promoting engagement within local communities. However, there exists minimal empirical evidence describing the ways in which nonprofits actually undertake this role. In order to address this omission, we conducted interviews with personnel of nonprofit organizations in one rural community in the United States. Our preliminary findings indicate that nonprofit organizations promote civic engagement through programs and activities that: 1) engage volunteers and donors; 2) bring community members together; 3) collaborate with organizations within and beyond the community; and 4) promote community education and awareness. Together, these findings help to develop a working model to understand the civic footprint of nonprofit organizations with methodological implications for future research that would seek to measure the extent to which nonprofits promote civic engagement. Il est normal de supposer que les associations a but non lucratif favorisent l’engagement du citoyen dans les communautes locales. Cependant, il existe peu de donnees empiriques sur la maniere dont ces associations assument veritablement ce role. Pour combler ce manque, nous avons mene des entretiens semi-directifs approfondis aupres du personnel d’associations a but non lucratif dans une petite communaute rurale aux Etats-Unis. Nos resultats preliminaires indiquent que ces associations motivent les citoyens a s’impliquer quand elles offrent des programmes et des activites qui : 1) interessent les benevoles et les donateurs; 2) rassemblent directement ou indirectement les membres de la communaute; 3) collaborent avec d’autres associations tant au sein de la communaute qu’au-dela de celle-ci; et 4) encouragent l’education et la conscientisation communautaires. Ces constats aident a etablir un modele pour mieux comprendre la presence civique des associations a but non lucratif dans les communautes et indiquent une piste a suivre pour des recherches futures qui examineraient l’influence de ces associations sur le niveau de participation civique.
