Serving the community by providing education, training and other vital services is at the center of a nonprofit’s mission. Taking the time to develop the right human resources, whether volunteers or employees, is a necessary step that transforms intention into action and action into results. This means that nonprofit executives need to continually find new ways to energize, engage and cultivate people and programs to deliver the highest return possible. While each organization faces its own unique challenges (often dictated by service focus and size) there are industry-wide issues and trends impacting all organizations. The 2018 Nonprofit Finance Fund State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey, conducted by the Nonprofit Finance Fund, provides important insights into the key financial and operational challenges faced by organizations this past year as well as into the future. To help clients, prospects and others understand the survey and what it means for their organization, Wilson Lewis has provided a summary of key points below.
About the Survey
The online survey included responses from 3,369 nonprofit leaders from nonprofits across the country ranging in annual revenue from $50,000 to $20M. Respondents included C-level executives and those in leadership positions. Participants were asked a variety of qualitative and quantitative questions designed to uncover key financial and operational trends while inquiring about new topics such as leadership diversity and equality.
