TY - JOUR AU - Kelly, Kathleen S. AB - Previous empirical research identified four models of fund raising that explain how charitable organizations practice this specialization of public relations. In this article, I report the results of the second stage of analysis in which I explore why these organizations practice fund raising the way they do. To move from descriptive to explanatory research, I utilize national data on power-control theory, the concept of the dominant coalition, and the issue of autonomy, as well as organizational and practitioner characteristics.
