Item Nonprofit Trends and Impacts 2021 National Findings on Donation Trends from 2015 through 2020, Diversity and Representation, and First-Year Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic(Urban Institute, 2021) Faulk, L., Kim, M., Derrick-Mills, T., Boris, E. T., Tomasko, L., Hakizimana, N., ... & Nath, L.Our study provides new evidence about the nonprofit sector in three ways. First, our nationally representative survey provides important data on geographic and demographic characteristics of the people and communities that nonprofits serve across the United States and the demographic diversity and representation of organizations’ staff and leadership. Second, our study shows how organizations of different sizes and in different subsectors and geographic contexts have been affected by recent trends in donations and how they were affected by the events of 2020. Third, recognizing that the trends we discuss are constantly changing, our study is an ongoing panel study, and future surveys will analyze additional trends in organizational characteristics and donations. This first report and future years of the study will equip nonprofit practitioners, funders, and policymakers with the knowledge they need to support the nonprofit sector and strengthen civil society. We begin with an introduction on the importance of the nonprofits represented in this study and background information on how recent studies on changing giving trends prompted us to examine how those trends affect nonprofit organizations. We then share our findings, which provide new information about characteristics of nonprofits in the United States not provided on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 990 and illuminate donation trends from 2015 through 2019 and in 2020. We close with implications of findings.
