We examine the effects of nonprofit organizations’ (NPOs) resource streams and network ties on changes to the services provided and clientele served as specified in the mission statements. The organizations’ network ties are used to develop a measure of their friends’ mission statement services and beneficiaries. These measures of friends’ activities and clientele were significant in predicting changes in organizations’ mission statements. We argue that although mission statements are consistent with the rational systems approach in that they direct action toward some goal, future mission activities and clientele are greatly determined by a NPOs inter-organizational ties which is consistent with a hybrid open-natural systems approach.
