About Paper:

Dynamics and Competition in Community Services Non-profit organizations play a role in the healthcare sector by meeting the needs of communities impacted by health disparities. This study explores the relationship between the characteristics of several non-profit organizations affiliated with a public medical university in the South and how they effectively reduce inequality while facing financial and organizational barriers and competition for resources. Specifically, this study aims to (i.) Comprehensively review the existing literature on the social relationships of non-profits and their organizational behaviors (ii) Assess the characteristics of their relationships and how this relates to their source of revenue; (iii) Examine the organizational reasons for the survival of non-profit organizations in the community healthcare sector. The data used for this analysis is from a non-profit organization that awards grants to community-based healthcare organizations and departments within the University's medical school hospital system. This analysis synthesizes findings from existing literature and results from the data analysis to provide insights into the reasons for the successes of non-profits in meeting their mission of promoting community well-being and the reasons for their survival. Additionally, the findings of this study suggest that different strategies may be necessary to meet the needs of target populations at different times. 433
