STATE OF THE SECTOR SURVEY NFF Survey Analyzer: Explore the data! In 2015 and 2016, the social sector generated stories of both promising innovation and overwhelming challenges. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, raising $100+ million from 3 million donors, reminded us of the power of individual giving and social media. NYC’s largest human services agency reached the brink of bankruptcy after providing essential services for 80 years. Over 100, 000 clients suddenly faced a disruption in services, coming to the end of what was for many a decades-long relationship with the agency. NFF’s State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey focuses on the underlying causes of these dynamics by exploring the programmatic, financial, and operational issues facing nonprofits across the U. S. NFF launched the Survey in 2008, when economic crisis threatened the viability of many organizations. Seven years later, results from 5, 451 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 as they raise their sights from the focus on short-term crisis, many are confronting the troubling reality that current practices cannot sustain organizations in the long-term or meet the needs of the communities they serve now. Many nonprofits have stumbled out of crisis looking to make the necessary investments to secure their long-term future. And it is a hard road ahead. KEY FINDINGS Under-resourced communities are going without because nonprofits can't meet demand. Americans—particularly those in low-income communities—are still struggling to secure jobs, affordable housing, and healthcare. • 76% of nonprofits reported an increase in demand for services—the 7 th year that a majority have reported increases. • 52% couldn't meet demand—the third year in a row that more than half of nonprofits couldn't meet demand. • Of those who reported that they could not meet demand, 71% said that client needs go unmet when they can't provide services. Nonprofits identified critical needs in their communities, including: • 35% affordable housing • 26% youth development (such as after-school and mentoring programs) • 23% job availability; 16% job training • 21% access to healthcare • 19% access to strong, well-performing schools Recovery of the U. S. economy hasn't addressed the systemic and perpetual funding challenges facing nonprofits. While NFF sees some positive economic indicators, in many cases nonprofits are still hampered by insufficient funding and a lack of investment in long-term sustainability. • For some nonprofits, financial health indicators have improved: 47% ended 2014 with a surplus, the highest in the history of our survey. • However, 53% are reporting 3 months or less of cash-on-hand. • Nonprofits said that top challenges were: • Achieving long-term sustainability (32%) • The ability to offer competitive pay and/or retain staff (25%) • Raising funding that covers full costs (19%) Nonprofits are navigating a time of immense need and change, while pursuing ways to build long-term sustainability and viability. Nonprofits continue to prove their ability to survive and thrive in tough conditions. They are working to ensure their ability to meet community needs now and in the years to come. Here are some of the ways they are investing in their futures: • 51% collaborated with another organization to improve or increase services offered. • 44% hired staff for new positions. • 33% upgraded hardware or software to improve service or program delivery. • 29% conducted long-term strategic or financial planning.

ANNUAL REPORT ON PHILANTHROPY How big is the nonprofit sector? • Total giving to charitable organizations was $358. 38 billion in 2014 (about 2% of GDP). • This is an increase of 7. 1% in current dollars and 5. 4% in inflation-adjusted dollars from 2013. • This is the 5 th straight year that giving has increased and the 1 st year to surpass the previous high-water mark of $355. 17 billion in 2007. Where are donations coming from? • Giving increased in every category of giver (foundation, corporation, bequest and individual). • As in previous years, the majority of that giving came from individuals. Individuals gave $258. 5 billion (72%) representing a 5. 7% increase over 2013 (4% when adjusted for inflation). • Giving by bequest was up 15. 5% in current dollars (or 13. 6% when adjusted for inflation) to $28. 1 billion. • Foundations gave $54 billion which represented an increase of 8. 2% (or 6. 5% when adjusted for inflation). • Corporations donated $17. 8 billion for an increase of 13. 7% (or 11. 9% when adjusted for inflation). • Historically, donations from individuals account for roughly 75% of all donations. If you add in gifts from bequests and family foundations, which are essentially gifts from individuals, this accounts for nearly 90% of all giving. In other words, the donating public, not big foundations or corporations, is responsible for the vast majority of annual donations. Where do the donations go? • Giving to Education charities was up 4. 9% (3. 2% inflation-adjusted) to $54. 6 billion. • Donations to Human Services charities were up 3. 6% (1. 9% inflation-adjusted) to $42. 1 billion. • Foundations saw an increase of 1. 8% (0. 1% inflation-adjusted) to $41. 5 billion. • Health charities experienced an increase of 5. 5% (3. 8% inflation-adjusted) to $30. 4 billion. • Charities that focus on the Environment / Animals saw an increase of 7% (5. 3% inflation-adjusted) to $10. 5 billion. • Public-Society Benefit charities saw an increase of 5. 1% (3. 4% inflation-adjusted) to $26. 3 billion. • Arts, Culture and Humanities saw an increase of 9. 2% (7. 4% inflation-adjusted) to $17. 2 billion. • Giving to International charities declined 2% (3. 6% inflation adjusted) to $15. 1 billion, due to fewer overseas disasters. • Historically, Religious groups have received the largest share of charitable donations. While this was still true in 2014, this was the first year since 2009 that it didn't decline or remain flat. With the 2. 5% increase (0. 9% inflation-adjusted) in donations this year, 32% of all donations ($114. 9 billion) went to Religious causes: people giving to their local place of worship. • The next largest sector was Education with 15% of all donations.
