Abstract

The advance of liberalist reforms in public-private relationships has greatly expanded the role of the third-sector organizations as representatives of the public. Although the third-sector organizations literature has grown substantially, the issue of how strengthening of such relationships affects the third-sector organizations' autonomy has not been fully explored. This paper assesses the third-sector organizations' autonomy, particularly their financial autonomy. It uses the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index for measuring the diversity of financial revenue sources and applies it to a national sample of the third-sector organizations. Furthermore, it demonstrates factors impacting the diversity of revenue sources. The results showed that financially large organizations have a greater dependence on single revenue sources, that the third-sector organizations in general are becoming more dependent on single revenue sources.
