| The pie chart below was created using Google’s chart tools.
The pie chart shows the sizes of nonprofits in the United States by level of total revenues. As can be seen from the chart, 58.2% of all nonprofits have total revenues less than $100,000. Also using the data on the chart, 70.4% of nonprofits have revenues less than $1 million. The chart’s data is based on IRS statistics. The IRS statistics come from Form 990s filed in 2010. The National Center for Charitable Statistics provides the percentages and other data based on the IRS statistics. The total revenues on these forms were $1.8 trillion. The total number of registered nonprofits was 1,617,301. Two percent of the nonprofits (about 32,350 nonprofits) in the United States account for 90% of the total revenues received by nonprofits.

| The graph below was created using Google’s graphing tools.
The horizontal bar graph shows 9 actions that nonprofits took to reduce their budgets during the difficult US economic period in 2009 and 2010. The data in the graph was collected in a survey conducted by GuideStar. 2011 responses were received from nonprofits. The graph shows the percentage of responses that indicated they reduced budgets by the actions shown. GuideStar’s report “The Effect of the Economy on the Nonprofit Sector” can be assessed by clicking here (PDF file). A question about the data is why more nonprofits did not reduce their operating hours, which would seem a preferable strategic option. Reducing operating hours would avoid layoffs (layoffs are a very poor strategic action) and achieve many of the other results, e.g. reducing employee wages using hourly wages. |
