English
The New Nonprofit Almanac and Desk Reference is a completely revised version of the INDEPENDENT SECTOR'S landmark publication. This accessible, user-friendly new edition of The Almanac produced jointly by INDEPENDENT SECTOR and the National Center for Charitable Statistics at the Urban Institute, provides key data, high-quality information, and insightful trend analysis about the nonprofit sector as a whole. This comprehensive volume defines the size and scope of the independent sector and compares it with the business and government sectors.
The Almanac includes vital information about the number of organizations in the sector, the income originating from the independent sector, and the value of volunteers. It also analyzes statistical information about the number of people employed, their share of total wages and salaries, and general employment trends in the independent sector. This must-have reference includes an overview of the total private contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporations and offers analyses of current giving trends and the effect of tax laws. It estimates the income derived from three major sources-- private giving, government payments and private payments-- and includes information on how the funding is distributed.
The Almanac contains detailed financial information on reporting organizations and public charities as processed and analyzed by the National Center for Charitable Statistics at the Urban Institute from the newly created GuideStar/NCCS Nonprofit Database.This latest edition-which is the sixth in the series-provides chapter summaries with quick, fingertip facts and includes useful references to other nonprofit websites and government data sources.
