NONPROFITS ARE CALLING it the perfect storm: Government, foundations and private donors are all cutting back on their support for social services. But no nonprofit agencies are quite as petrified as community-based groups founded in the last couple of decades. Many have grown up dependent on a few government contracts for their survival. For those groups, many of which are minority-run, additional sources of funding--endowments, gala fundraisers, revenue-generating businesses--are practically non-existent. "Large organizations can survive, barely," says New School University urban policy professor Dennis Derryck, co-author of a Center for New York City Affairs study of how non-profits in the city are faring after September 11. "For smaller agencies, God have mercy on them."
