The following interactive map allows you to find data easily, by state, about the number of registered nonprofits and nonprofit employment, as well as the total of nonprofit revenues, expenses, assets, and contributions. Where available, there’s also a link to our member state association of nonprofits, the latest state-level report on the nonprofit sector, and recent nonprofit salary survey/compensation and benefits reports.
Source of number of registered nonprofits is IRS Business Master Files, Revenue Transaction Files, and electronic (e-File) Form 990 returns processed for fiscal years ending circa 2016 (June 2018), Nonprofit Research (datalake.net).
Datalake, LLC also provided the data for "Nonprofits Filing Forms 990 and 990-EZ" and revenues, expenses, assets, and contributions from latest available 990/990-EZ data for circa fiscal year 2016 as of June, 2018.
Financial data on this page omits many religious groups and nonprofits with annual gross receipts normally $50,000 or less, because those organizations are not required to file 990 or 990-EZ returns.
Source of employment numbers and percentages is U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data released in 2019, based on the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), representing annual average 2017 employment for approximately 300,000 501(c)(3) organizations (the vast majority of employment). This is the only data on this page that includes 501(c)(3) foundations, representing less than 1% of employment.
