Two key variables are examined: financial stability and advocacy indicators. These variables are measured in a five year span (1990-1995) when neo-conservative policies were paramount. A general downward trend was evident regarding financial stability. Advocacy activities continued to be utilized by executive directors of nonprofits despite an increasingly hostile external environment. A slight positive correlation between financial stability and advocacy indicators was found.vii, 103 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
