245 1 0 _aDoes government funding alter nonprofit governance? Evidence from New York City nonprofit contractors
260 _c2002
520 3 _aGovernment contracting has raised a collection of issues with respect to adequate oversight and accountability. This paper explores one avenue trough the governance practices of the contractor's board. Oversight and monitoring are a board's key responsibilities, and influencing a board's practices in one way a governmental agency key responsibilities, and influencing a board's practices is one way a governmental agency can help to insure quality performance. Agencies could thus use both their selection process and their post-contracting power to influence board practice. Using a new, rich data set on the nonprofit contractors of New York City, a series of hypotheses were tested on the relationship between government funding and board practices. Significant differences were found to exist in board practices as a function of government funding levels, differences that mark a shift of energy away from some activities (i.e., traditional board functions, such as fund-raising) towards others (financial monitoring and advocacy). This suggest that government agencies may indeed use their contracting choices with an eye to particular governance practices. This increased emphasis on such activities appears to crowd out other activities, and is not unambiguously to benefit on nonprofit board governance
