How Nonprofits Adapt to a Stringent Environment
Abstract
Analysis of questionnaire data obtained in a survey of 440 nonprofit
human service agencies in Ariz reveals that most agencies reported
steady or declining revenues, increased competition with other
agencies, & rising demand for services from clients who cannot
pay. The strategies used to adapt to these changes ranged from
small-scale productivity enhancements to a complete restructuring of
the agency as well as cutbacks in client services. The discussion
focuses on the implications of the results for the continued viability
of these agencies & their commitments to poor clients. 6 Tables,
