In recent years, thanks to the government's support for and promotion of community empowerment projects, together with the revival of the autonomous and independent spirit of the people, community non-profit organizations have been enjoying a strong and vigorous development. As a result, the community has gained in the range of its functions, and nonprofit organizations now exercise a stronger influence in the community. Past studies discovered, however, that because of the limited scale of operations of such community non-profit organizations, they often operate only within a single local administrative unit, be it a town or a village. Thus, while such organizations may be able to provide a wide range of social services, the services extend only to people in the local community. The result is they often fall into the predicament of inadequate human, physical, as well as financial resources. The difficulty in procuring resources is a common problem encountered by most community development associations in Taiwan. This study purports to examine the process by which community nonprofit organizations manage to obtain resource funding. It investigates how such organizations respond to internal organizational structure as well as changes in the external environment in order to win an advantageous position for obtaining community resources. Two stable community development associations were selected as the target of study, one in Pingtung County and the other in Tainan City. Analyzing the experience of these two long-established associations, the study looks into the way such bottomup grassroots organizations unearth and explore problems faced by the community and, following various resources mobilization patterns, work out the best strategy to solve those problems. The examination of the resources mobilization process shows that the cooperative relationship and attitude between the association and the government determine the success of the financial funding obtained by the community organization. In addition, responding to changes in the environment, the associations often take initiative to cooperate and network with various neighboring organizations in order to expand the scope of their services. Such is the utilization of social capital, which works to reduce the uncertainty of the operations of these community non-profit organizations.
