In Britain and the USA, non-profit and charitable organizations have become increasingly important wit/h respect to their role in urban community activity. Governments on both sides of the Atlantic have recognized the value of n)on-profits in promoting community involvement in local initiatives designed to stimulate economic activity and political and social integration.
