Revenue Strategy on the Gold Coast

This study investigates the effects of federal policy and budget changes during the Reagan years as well as the revenue strategies of governmental and private, nonprofit agencies in Stamford, Connecticut. Systematic examination of agency budgets and interviews with agency directors in 1982 found widespread anxiety about possible revenue decline, but few departures from traditional revenue strategies. In Stamford, federal changes produced revenue problems for only a few agencies, most of which went about “business as usual” and did not experience a budget crisis. This situation remained unchanged in late 1985
