Abstract
The conception of nonprofit organizations as institutional bridges that mediate within an environment of
interrelationships is a useful device for informing strategic thinking by nonprofit professionals and
volunteers. The bridge metaphor neatly explains not only the rise in number of nonprofit community
organizations, but also the process by which leaders of the private and public sectors have formed partnerships
to project the wealth and assets of communities.
