Management Implications of Government Funding of Nonprofit Organizations:Views from the UnitedStates and Canada
Abstract
Most American authors approach nonprofit institutions as an alternative to both for-profit and public provision. This view suggests that the issues surrounding governance focus on the tension between the needs of individuals who finance or benefit from the activities of nonprofits and the goals of those who manage them. A different paradigm is more appropriate in much of the rest of the world. This article focuses on Canada, where the decision to use nonprofit organizations is made largely by governments. Examples from the Canadian experience with health care, higher education, day care, and television illustrate this difference and some of the implications for nonprofit management that follow from it.
