Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter: 

The nonprofit industry includes over 1 million organizations across the US with
combined annual revenue of more than $1 trillion. Major organizations include
Goodwill Industries, Ascension Health, National Cancer Institute, New York
University, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The industry is highly
fragmented: large organizations with assets of $10 million or more represent
just 6 percent of the industry but account for more than 80 percent of the
sector's total annual revenue. 

Although technically distinct, the terms "nonprofit," "tax-exempt," and
"charitable" are often used interchangeably. Nonprofits are sometimes referred
to as "501(c)" entities, after the section of the Internal Revenue Code that
defines their tax status. 

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE 

Demand is driven by the need to represent special interests or provide social
services that can't be met by the market or government. Organizations receive
nonprofit status because their primary purpose is religious, charitable,
scientific, literary, or educational in nature. Their purpose must be to serve
the public good versus a private interest. 

The success of nonprofits often depends on efficient operations and their
ability to match expenses with fluctuating revenues. Large nonprofits have
advantages in fundraising due to strong name recognition. Small nonprofits can
be successful if they serve a dedicated membership or have a dependable source
of revenue. The industry is labor-intensive: the average annual wage for a
nonprofit sector employee is about $35,000.
