School of Public & Environmental Affairs, Indiana University South Bend, 1700 Mishawaka Avenue PO Box 7111, South Bend, IN, 46634, USA E-mail: Lhall{at}iusb.edu

This study examines a group of small, religious, nonprofit organizations whose single common thread is funding from the Campaign for Human Development of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. Hypotheses are made about the relationships between organizational goals, competition between groups, and linkages with other groups. The degree of interaction with other groups and the types of actions used to attain goals varies between religious and more secular nonprofit groups.

Key Words: nonprofit organizations • social movement organizations • faith-based nonprofits
