Inequity and Power in the Nonprofit Sector: A Comparative Analysis of AIDS-Related Services for Gay Men and Intravenous Drug Users in Chicago

• Winkle, Curtis R.

Abstract

The nonprofit AIDS service system in Chicago serves gay men better than it serves intravenous drug users. This inequity is related to differ ences in power of the groups of actors involved. Recommendations are made for the development of a nonprofit sector response to the second wave of AIDS, which is characterized by increased infection among intra venous drug users. Much can be gained in paying more attention to the concept of power in the theory of the role of the nonprofit sector.
