How Revenue Sources Impact Nonprofit Advocacy: Complementary, Supplementary, and Adversarial Policy Engagement
研究基于资源依赖理论，将非营利组织的19种政策参与形式分为互补、补充和对抗三类，发现政府资助比例与这三类参与正相关，且获取关键资金来源（尤其是政府资助）比依赖程度更重要。
ABSTRACT This study examines how revenue sources influence nonprofit policy engagement. Drawing on resource dependence theory and nonprofit‐government relationship perspectives, we categorize 19 forms of engagement into three types: (1) Complementary Partnerships, (2) Supplementary Contributions, and (3) Adversarial Influence on Government. Results show that the share of government funding is positively associated with these three forms of policy engagement. Also, we distinguish between non‐lobbying advocacy and legislative lobbying, revealing distinct funding patterns. Our expanded models further highlight that access to key funding sources, especially government funding, matters more for advocacy than the extent of reliance on them. These findings emphasize the need for more nuanced measures of nonprofit policy engagement to deepen our understanding of how funding structures shape nonprofit‐government interactions.
