“The most recent 2022 Health of the U.S. Nonprofit Sector: Quarterly Review provides Independent Sector's analysis of federal data highlighting the nonprofit sector’s economic contributions and human capital. Recommendations cover research, practice, and policy. As the nonprofit sector continues to be the underpinning of civil society and healthy, equitable communities, our goal is to spur deeper discussions, greater action, and more collaboration so that everyone in the U.S. can thrive.” [more] ([link removed])
