The number of nonprofit organizations (NPOs) is increasing rapidly since the introduction of the Law to Promote Specified Nonprofit Activities (the so-called NPO Law) in 1998. NPOs are now expected to play a pivotal role in various fields including sports and health-related services. The purpose of this study is to clarify and assess the current state of sports-related NPOs (sport NPOs) and their management activities. All the sport NPOs with at least one year of activity since the registration were contacted for the purpose of the study. Specifically, secretary generals of the 664 sport NPOs nationwide were contacted via a questionnaire survey by mail. A total of 204 usable questionnaires were returned and processed for the analysis. Major results of the study include: 1) Social recognition and permanence of the organizational activity are major reasons why organizations seek for 'hojin' (corporate) status regardless of the scale of operation. 2) As compared to the results from a previous investigation by Sasakawa Sports Foundation (2001), situations have improved in terms of office facilities and physical supply. However, there has not been much change regarding the financial aspect of sport NPOs. 3) Secretary generals' evaluation on the organizational management and activities tend to vary according to the organizations'annual revenue, suggesting organizations with larger annual revenue are more optimistic.
