The Contributors Information Bureau of the Community Council of Greater New York: A Survey of a Free Standard-Setting, Fact-Giving Central Service Within a Coordinating Agency, With Emphasis on Its Functions, Policies and Standards for Social Agencies in 1957
Abstract
Background of the Study. In the recent past, charitable organizations and voluntary agencies in the health and social welfare field have been subject to serious scrutiny in more than one geographical part of the United States. This public awareness has been brought about for a variety of reasons. There is, first, an increased public interest in the purposes, policies and procedures of these agencies. Some public interest there has always been. But the increased awareness is due, at least in part, to recent expansion of welfare programs, to the growth of health services, both public and voluntary, and to the promotional work of the more than two thousand Community Chests and United Funds in the United States. Secondly, social agencies invite this public examination when they appeal to the general public for contributions toward capital improvements and reduction of current operating deficits.
