The Community Foundation, in partnership with Allegany Franciscan Ministries, conducted the 2nd Annual Nonprofit Survey to gather data regarding the needs in the community, the state of nonprofits and how best funders could be of assistance. A total of 367 responses were received representing nearly 22,000 staff members and 50,000 volunteers. Respondents were asked about their current challenges, the impact the economic downturn has had on the services they offer and their most pressing funding needs.

This is the second year that the Community Foundation and Allegany Franciscan Ministries have partnered to take the pulse of the nonprofit sector in our region, hearing directly from our nonprofit community about what they are experiencing in managing their operations and services during the economic recession. The honesty and clarity of their responses illuminate the practicality that is required to stay in business and to run an effective organization.

Learn more about the challenges and how nonprofits are responding. The full report is available for download. We are also offered an online webinar on the overall survey results and three community meetings featuring hyper-local results.
