Nonprofit Finance Fund’s 2025 State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey now live! Share with your grantee partners.
In December 2024, a group of local funders partnered with the Nonprofit Finance Fund to collect data that speaks to the financial health of the nonprofit sector in Georgia. The Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF)’s 2025 State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey – the 10th they have conducted – is an advocacy tool that gathers and widely shares the story of US nonprofits’ health. It looks at nonprofits’ collective challenges, successes, and the required investments to continue enriching millions of lives. Local funders have partnered NFF with to do a special analysis of the Georgia nonprofit sector.
To increase participation from the nonprofit community, we are asking sector and network leaders, to promote the survey. Given the timing of this survey, we believe there is even more urgent need to develop a statewide dataset of the health of nonprofits. Specifically, we would like to ask you to send out an invitation to your grantee networks throughout the state for participation. A draft communication is shared below so that you can easily copy and paste it into an email to your grantees.
Conducted in partnership with EVITARUS, the survey focuses on:
Investments needed to secure nonprofits’ long-term operational and financial health.
Government funding, real estate ownership, workforce well-being, and the implications of changes in federal policy.
Racial equity in nonprofit finance and funding.
Funding practices and how post-pandemic shifts have impacted nonprofits.
Nonprofits’ contributions to community prosperity.
The survey is live and closing on Friday, March 14th. Survey findings will be shared publicly in late 2025, and we are planning to host a webinar to share relevant information with Georgia grantmakers.
