Abstract
Lancaster Outreach Center (LOC) has for almost 30 years provided high social welfare quality services with minimum setbacks. However, the faltering economy had a negative influence on the level of donor funding LOC expected. The decreased funding level has greatly affected LOC's operations, and the nonprofit organization no longer sees donor funding as a solid revenue source. This study aims to analyze the challenges that rural social workers encounter working for a small nonprofit. Data regarding the agency was collected directly from members of the LOC staff. The research findings for the literature review were obtained through the UTA online library. The conclusion describes the many adversities the agency faces and the solutions suggested for fixing the issues.
