2022 National State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey | Nonprofit Finance Fund, nff.org | USA

"...The State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey – the biggest national sampling of our sector – collects data about US nonprofits’ health and challenges and transforms it into an accessible, evidence-based illustration of nonprofits’ ability to help the communities we all serve. It’s a powerful platform for nonprofits large and small, urban and rural, across sub-sectors and geographies, and its findings are widely used and cited by nonprofit leaders and boards, funders, advocates, policy advisors, media, researchers, and many others.  We launched the Survey in 2008, when an economic crisis threatened the viability of many organizations. Thirteen years later, results from thousands of respondents show some indications of recovery, stabilization, and growth. Nonprofits are adding jobs, engaging in strategic conversations such as leadership succession planning, and looking to retain their workforce. Yet, given many challenges arising from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and inequities in funding organizations led-by and serving BIPOC, many nonprofits are confronting the troubling reality of how to meet the long-term needs of the communities they serve now. Many organizations are looking to make the necessary investments to secure their long-term future. ..."
