Taylor’s influence provides a measure of the amount of financial influence one agency has over others; a negative value indicates a preponderance of receiving money over sending, a positive value indicates a preponderance of sending over receiving, and a neutral value indicates a balance of sending and receiving; the greater the positive value, the greater the financial influence(31). An equation for calculating Taylor’s influence is provided in Appendix B. L = lead agency, C = coalitions, SC= statewide coalition, CT = contractor, V = voluntary agency/advocacy group, O = other agency.
