Major findings and policy implications on how nonprofit social service organizations manage their funding relations are summarized. Data from in‐depth case studies of six medium‐sized social service organizations with distinctive funding profiles yielded findings on the major contingencies associated with controlling fees, the volatility of donations, and the driving force of public funding. The article examines the implications of these diverse funding relationships for funders (public and private), nonprofit managers, and the role of nonprofit organizations.
