Funding Uncertainty and Nonprofit Strategies in the 1980s
Abstract
Interviews conducted thrice between 1980 & 1989 with
administrators of 555 nonprofit organizations in the US are drawn on
to investigate the degree to which strategic action is related to
changes in the perceived uncertainty of income from major types of
funders. Results indicate that uncertainty is pervasive, with some
nonprofits reporting increases & other decreases in uncertainty
over time. The use of new revenue, legitimation, or retrenchment
strategies is associated with the reduction of uncertainty for some
types of nonprofit organizations, but not for others. 7 Tables, 29
