Impact of Poverty Funds on Voluntary Agencies.

This article reports on a study of the affects of funds from the Office of Economic Opportunity on sixteen voluntary agencies in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, from 1960 to 7967. It was found that the agencies had changed little with respect to program emphases, types of clients served, and modes of served, and that the agency board members and voluntary funding bodies wore resisting change. The authors discuss some tactics for opening up negotiations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
