Awesome Video About the Impact of Nonprofit Organizations

by | August 27, 2010 | 0 comments

Check out this fascinating video made by Philanthropy Reports, which breaks down the impact that nonprofit organizations have on this country. Did you know, for example, that 6.5% of Americans volunteer for a nonprofit every day, averaging 2.3 hours/day? That equals the work time of 7.6 million employees. And did you know that 83% of all donations made to non-profits are made by individuals?

If you’re a volunteer, board member, non-profit employee or donor or philanthropist this video is a must watch! And even if you’re not, it is still an interesting look into one of the country’s most important sectors.
