The thousands of organizations that comprise Americas private nonprofit sector represent a national treasure. Yet serious pressures are altering the playing field on which nonprofits operate, and many are responding in ways that may undermine their popular support. The State of Nonprofit America provides a basic sourcebook for sector leaders, the press, public officials, and citizens concerned about the future of Americas nonprofit sector and eager to understand the forces affecting it.
