Nonprofit Business
The impact of nonprofit organizations on our community cannot be overstated. Not only do nonprofits help tens of thousands of individuals within our community daily, they embody the best of who we are, especially within a region with the broad needs of ours. As public funding has diminished over time, the nonprofit sector has taken on much of the responsibilities of making our community a place to live and play. It has grown well over 97% since 1992. In 2005 alone, the sector generated $48B in revenues and held $76B in assets. This sector continues to play an expanding role in economic and social well-being in our county.
