Community Season, a leader in Web-based management solutions for community-based organizations, announced today that it will conduct a research study of its services for nonprofit organizations with the help of Delia Kuczmarski, a graduate student in the arts administration program at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. Delia will act as the researcher and will help facilitate recruitment, execution and evaluation processes for Community Season and its nonprofit study participants.
The nonprofit research study is set to begin on May 1, 2006, with 48 nonprofit organizations representing a diverse array of areas, including health care, advocacy, education, social services and the arts.
