Note(s): All continuous variables (Donations, Volunteers, Fundraising Expenses, Age, Size, Government Grants, Program Service Revenue, and Employees) are logged and winsorized in our multivariate tests, but we present unlogged versions above for ease of interpretation. Continuous variables are winsorized at the 1st and 99th percentiles. Financial variables (Donations, Fundraising Expenses, Size, Government Grants, Program Service Revenue) are scaled by $1,000,000s
