In general terms, participation in nonprofit organizations (NPOs) generates social benefits, raising human capital through the transfer of knowledge and interpersonal trust through the interaction of NPO members while at the same time encouraging political involvement. People’s relations with NPOs take a variety of forms: The authors could distinguish members, participants, donors, and volunteers. In this article, the authors examine the personal decision to become involved in or collaborate with an NPO from a general approach: (a) What is the relationship between the decisions to participate, become a member, make donations, and become a volunteer? (b) Are there any differences between the various types of NPOs? and (c) Is there any relationship between the relative income inequality of the Spanish regions and the level of citizen collaboration?

Key Words: nonprofit organizations • membership • monetary donations • volunteer
