Nonprofits for Hire: The Welfare State in the Age of Contracting

By Steven Rathgeb Smith

Book Overview

Few Americans realize that over half the revenues of the voluntary service organizations in this country come from federal and state governments. The image of the voluntary agency as neighbour helping neighbour - a thousand small independent points of light - is deceptive, for it masks the increasing dependence of non-profit service organizations on government funding.
