Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) contribute to vital neighborhoods by building communities of citizens and acting as intermediaries between citizens and organizations. We investigate how NPOs' engagement in social and systemic integration is shaped by neighborhood characteristics, and how it relates to the organizational practices of managerialism and organizational democracy. We combine survey data with administrative data from a representative sample of NPOs in a major European city. To measure the effect of neighborhood on organizational integration, we separated the city into 7,840 grid cells characterized by population, per capita income, share of immigrant population, and density of organizations. Findings indicate that managerialism positively relates with systemic integration, as organizational democracy relates with social integration. Neighborhood characteristics, however, are not related with NPOs' engagement in integration. Our findings contribute to research on urban social cohesion by illuminating the interplay between NPOs' organizing practices, local neighborhoods, and contributions to both forms of integration.

非营利组织（NPO）通过建立公民社区并充当公民与组织之间的中介，为重要社区做出贡献。我们研究了邻里特征如何塑造非营利组织在社会和系统整合方面的参与度，以及它与管理主义和组织民主的组织实践有何关系。我们将来自一个欧洲主要城市的非营利组织代表性样本的调查数据与行政数据相结合。为了衡量邻里对组织整合的影响，我们将城市划分为7840个网格单元，这些单元的特征包括人口、人均收入、移民人口比例和组织密度。研究结果表明，管理主义与系统整合呈正相关，而组织民主与社会整合呈正相关。然而，邻里特征与非营利组织在整合方面的参与度无关。我们的研究结果通过阐明非营利组织的组织实践、当地邻里以及对两种整合形式的贡献之间的相互作用，为城市社会凝聚力的研究做出了贡献。
