Nonprofit groups in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties managed to beef up their workforces, coax more donations from individuals and maintain services between 1994 and 2003 despite a roller-coaster economy and significantly reduced federal funding, according to a report released Monday.
``Despite a downturn in many fields, the organizations were still keeping up,'' said Kevin Rafter, co-author of the report by the University of San Francisco's Institute for Nonprofit Organization Management. ``Things are tighter, but services are continuing, one way or another,'' Rafter said."
