Nonprofit Fiscal Trends and Challenges (PDF; 967 KB)

Press Release:

Despite continuing fiscal challenges, the percentage of nonprofits reporting severe fiscal stress fell between 2003 and 2006, according to a recent survey by the Johns Hopkins Nonprofit Listening Post Project.

Reflecting this, a substantial majority — 76 percent — of nonprofit organizations in all fields, and of all sizes, reported generally successful financial performance during 2006, the survey showed.
The nearly 750 organizations surveyed are involved in children and family services, elderly housing and services, community and economic development, and culture and the arts.

The study followed up on similar surveys of nonprofit fiscal trends and challenges conducted in 2003.
