Nonprofits By the Numbers and Employment Reports

Maryland Nonprofits is proud to bring you the 2004 edition of Nonprofits by the Numbers. The newly updated version shows some encouraging and exciting trends in the nonprofit sector. These statistics clearly show that Maryland's nonprofit sector is not only growing in numbers, budget sizes are growing as well.

Maryland's 501(c)(3) organizations with budget sizes over $1 million have increased 13% over the last two years while the number of 501(c)(3)'s has increased by only 12%. Although there is no clear geographical pattern to growth, Montgomery County is the individual jurisdiction that has increased the most in number of organizations. Baltimore county is the individual jurisdiction that has increased the most in number of organizations with budgets over $1 million.

To get the full picture on the status of nonprofits in Maryland, we have provided two reports for our consideration. The first, Maryland Nonprofits By the Numbers 2004, is a statistical breakdown of the nonprofit community on a county by county basis. The second report, the 2004 Nonprofit Employment Update, shows the impact these organizations are having on the state's economy.
