Results-based Financing: Accelerator of Progress in the Social Sector
Professor, Johns Hopkins University and Director of the
Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies
Lester M. Salamon is a Professor at The Johns Hopkins University, Director of the Johns Hopkins
Center for Civil Society Studies; Research Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced
International Studies Bologna Center; and Research Director of the International Laboratory for
Nonproft Sector Studies at Russia’s Higher School of Economics. Dr. Salamon previously served as Director of the
Johns Hopkins Institute for Policy Studies, Director of the Center for Governance and Management Research at The
Urban Institute in Washington, D.C. and as Deputy Associate Director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget
in the Executive Office of the President. Before that, he taught at Duke University, Vanderbilt University, and, in the
mid1960-s, at Tougaloo College in Tougaloo, Mississippi. Dr. Salamon is a pioneer in the empirical study of the
nonprofit sector in the United States and, more recently, throughout the world. His 1982 book, The Federal Budget
and the Nonprofit Sector, was the first to document the scale of the American nonprofit sector and the extent of
government support to it. As director of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project, Dr. Salamon has
extended this analysis internationally, producing the first comparative empirical assessment ever undertaken of
the size, structure, financing, and role of the nonprofit sector globally. The results of this work have been published
in Dr. Salamon’s 1994 book, The Emerging Sector, in a series of volumes entitled Global Civil Society: Dimensions of
the Nonprofit Sector, and in an entire series of books published by Manchester University Press. Based on this work,
Dr. Salamon worked with the UN Statistics Division to produce an official UN Handbook to guide statistical agencies
in capturing the nonprofit sector for the first time in national economic statistics and he has been working since
then with statistical agencies globally to promote its implementation. In addition to his work on the nonprofit
sector, Dr. Salamon has formulated a new approach to public administration focusing on the tools of government.
This work was captured most recently in Dr. Salamon’s 2002 volume, The Tools of Government: A Guide to the New
Governance, published by Oxford University Press and soon-to-be issued in Chinese by Peking University Press. In
addition to the previous publications, Dr. Salamon is the author or editor of more than a dozen books and has
contributed articles to more than 50 different journals. His book, America’s Nonprofit Sector: A Primer, now in its
third edition, is a standard text used in college-level courses on the nonprofit sector in the United States and
elsewhere. His book, Partners in Public Service: Government and the Nonprofit Sector in the Modern Welfare State,
published by Johns Hopkins University Press, won the 1996 ARNOVA Award for Distinguished Book in Nonprofit
Research and has just been awarded the Aaron Wildavsky Prize by the American Political Science Association
honoring a book published in the past 20-15 years that has made the most enduring contribution to the Political
Science profession and to the field of Public Policy. Dr. Salamon’s most recent books are Global Civil Society:
Dimensions of the Nonprofit Sector, Volume II (Kumarian 2004), The State of Nonprofit America, published
originally by the Brookings Institution Press in 2002 and issued in a second edition in June 2012, Rethinking
Corporate Social Engagement: Lessons from Latin America (Kumarian, 2010), New Frontiers of Philanthropy: The
New Actors and Tools that Are Reshaping Global Philanthropy and Social Investing (Oxford 2014), and
Philanthropication thru Privatizaton: Building Permanent Assets for the Common Good (il Mulino 2014).
Dr. Salamon received his B.A. degree in Economics and Policy Studies from Princeton University and his Ph.D. in
Government from Harvard University. He served until recently as Board Chair of the Community Foundation of the
Chesapeake, and serves on the Editorial Boards of Voluntas, Administration and Society, Society, Nonprofit and
Voluntary Sector Quarterly, and Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics.
