Abstract: I use data from the General Social Survey, the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS) the Census and the Fraser Institute, among others, to test different theories that attempt to explain why individuals demand (goods and services from) nonprofit organizations and/or choose to create nonprofit organizations and extends the analysis by incorporating the relevance of different institutional forms of the state that may influence such choice. This Paper investigates the links between institutional conditions and the existence of non-profit organizations in the United States of America. I find partial support for the institutional argument for the existence of nonprofit organizations in the United States.
