Nonprofit organizations have long been key actors in democratic societies -- as service providers, advocates, and monitors of government policy. But the impacts of charitable organizations have not received significant, sustained attention from the policy community. This volume is a product of the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS), located in the Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy at the Urban Institute, in collaboration with Independent Sector. It provides an overview of the nonprofit organizations in the states, including the state and regional differences in number, type, and financial picture, as well as a detailed profile for every state. The charities are also categorized by their activities, using the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities. This volume is a companion to Nonprofit Almanac 1996-1997: Dimensions of the Independent Sector by Virginia A. Hodgkinson and Murray S. Weitzman of Independent Sector.
