abstract="This study examines the significance of organizational founding and leadership by focusing on the minority founders of nine community-based-human service organizations in a neighborhood of concentrated disadvantage. It discusses founders' motivations, barriers encountered, and strategies employed in establishing and operating such organizations. The paper draws on both institutional and resource dependence perspectives by paying particular attention to how minority founders seek to establish legitimacy and secure resources, but it also makes an important contribution to these perspectives by noting the distinct challenges and advantages for minority founders operating in a racialized context. Implications for research and practice are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
