“…Within the United States, the number of reporting public charities grew 47% between 1999 and 2009 to 362,926, while revenues grew 75% to US$1.4 trillion (Roeger, Blackwood, & Pettijohn, 2011). 1 The field of public administration recognizes a strong and growing role for nonprofit organizations in service delivery and collaborative governance (Agranoff, 2005; Feldman, 2010; Meier, 2010; O’Leary & Slyke, 2010; O’Leary & Vij, 2012; Smith, 2010), and the last several decades have witnessed an increasing outsourcing of public services to nonprofit organizations intended to improve service quality and efficiency (Van Slyke, 2003). 2 The increasing significance of the nonprofit sector has enhanced scrutiny of nonprofit financial management practices as a growing literature examines functional expense accounting (M.…”

“…Furthermore, the expectation is that those that the hollow state leaves un-or under-served will turn to local nonprofits for help in meeting their varied needs.
