Contrary to expectations that a divested federal role would lead to the demise of nonprofit agencies, the relationship between nonprofit and government sectors in New York at the end of the 1980s was stronger than ever. This article presents longitudinal data for six nonprofit agencies in Rochester, New York, to demonstrate “management by groping along” during the Reagan years, behavior that resulted in increased reliance on state and local governments for funds and programs and in different ways of doing business.
