Abstract

Reframes government funding of nonprofits: rather than asking how public funds constrain private action, it asks how government deploys nonprofits to secure a public good. A New York State child-welfare case reveals a deficit model in which nonprofits are deputized to secure rights but under-resourced to do so.
