Small But Mighty

Here is a surprising truth about the nonprofit sector in the U.S….

The vast majority of nonprofits and charitable organizations have annual revenues under $50,000.

This means that the social support system largely resides in small community organizations.

According to Candid in their new Social Sector Dashboard, there are 955,000 nonprofits that are under $50,000 in revenue.

This is in contrast to 63,000 that are between $1 million and $5 million in revenues and 39,000 over $5 million.

As a sector, nonprofits have revenue of $3.7 Trillion.

Given the economic disruption and the increased demand caused by the pandemic, it should sharpen our focus on the stability and viability of small nonprofits.

Perhaps this is a time to consider more strategic partnerships and mergers to scale service delivery and impact.
