KEY FINDINGS
A MAJOR ECONOMIC PRESENCE
1. With nearly 630,000 workers, including 380,000 paid workers and an additional 250,000 full-time equivalent volunteer workers, Florida’s nonprofit sector is the fourth largest employer among Florida industries (see page 3).
2. Generating $48.1 billion in revenues, expending over $44.5 billion, and holding nearly $76.2 billion in total assets in 2005, the Florida nonprofit sector has a substantial financial footprint. The state also boasts a foundation sector with an additional $15.1 billion in assets (see pages 3-4 and 12).
3. Though sizeable, Florida’s nonprofit sector is proportionally smaller than its counterparts else-where in the nation. Thus, the nonprofit share of total employment in Florida is below the U.S. average, the Southeast average, and the averages in other major states (see page 4).
A DIVERSE SECTOR
4. Nonprofits in Florida are active in a wide range of fields, including the arts, education, health, social services, and civic life (see page 5).
5. Florida nonprofits are also geographically diverse. Two-thirds of the state’s nonprofit organiza-tions and over three-quarters of the state’s nonprofit workers are located within three regions—the Southeast Region, the Tampa Bay Region, and the East Central Region. But nonprofits account for above average shares of total employment in other regions, including the North Central Region, the Northeast Region, and the East Central Region (see page 7).
REVENUES AND GENEROSITY
6. The major sources of Florida nonprofit revenue are government and fees for service, which accounted for at least 75 percent of Florida’s nonprofit revenue in 2005 (see page 9).
7. Charitable giving in Florida, while substantial, falls 5 percent below the U.S. average when measured as a share of adjusted gross income (see page 10).
8. Over two and a half million Floridians, or 18.6 percent of the adult population, volunteered in 2006 alone. While sizeable, this falls 30 percent below the U.S. rate (see page 11).
A GROWING SECTOR
9. Florida nonprofit expenditures grew by 97 percent after adjusting for inflation between 1992 and 2005. This rate exceeded the growth in U.S. nonprofit expenditures (70 percent) and the growth in U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) (54 percent) (see page 13).
10. Between 2002 and 2005, nonprofit employment in Florida grew twice as fast as the state’s public sector employment and nearly as fast as for-profit employment (see page 15).
11. Although nonprofit employment is increasing, however, in a number of major fields employment in for-profit firms is growing more rapidly. Reflecting this, Florida nonprofits are losing “market share” in a number of significant fields, including higher education, hospitals, youth development and social assistance, and nursing homes (see page 16).
NONPROFIT WAGES
12. The overall average weekly wages of nonprofit workers are lower than those of both government and for-profit workers, but in industries in which nonprofits and for-profits are both involved, nonprofit average weekly wages are generally higher than comparable for-profit wages (see pages 17-18).

CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION
Largely invisible to most Florida residents is a set of insti-tutions that, taken together, constitute the state’s fourth largest employer, that provide the lion’s share of the avail-able health, cultural, and social services, that enliven the state’s democracy, and that add immeasurably to its citizens’ overall quality of life.
This mystery component of Florida life is the vast array of private hospitals, universities, symphonies, art galleries, soup kitchens, nursing homes, family service agencies, churches, civic agencies, and many more that comprise Florida’s private “nonprofit sector.”
These organizations play a far more important part in the Florida economy and society than is widely recognized. Yet their impact and importance are rarely examined and are therefore regularly overlooked.
The present report seeks to take some major steps toward bringing this invisible sector out of the shadows and demonstrating the enormous stake that Floridians have in its continued viability and health. More specifically, the report focuses on six major topics:
• The enormous scale of Florida’s nonprofit sector—the numbers of organizations and their expenditures, assets, and numbers of workers;
• The distribution of this nonprofit economic scale by field, region, and size of organization;
• The sources of nonprofit revenue, and the relative position of its charitable support;
• The dynamics of recent nonprofit growth;
• The resulting changes in the “market position” of nonprofit providers; and
• The relative wage levels of nonprofit and for-profit employers.
What emerges from this discussion is a picture of a set of institutions with far greater economic heft than is commonly
recognized, a diverse and dynamic sector, but also one that trails the nation along a number of important dimensions and that therefore has even greater potential than it is now exhibiting.
Before turning to these findings, however, it may be useful to describe the context within which Florida’s nonprofit organizations are operating because this defines the needs to which these organizations must respond. In addition, it will be useful to spell out a bit more precisely what the nonprofit sector is and what portion of it is the focus of this report.
Florida Realities: The Context of Nonprofit Operations
Florida nonprofits are operating in a state that is not only large, but also expanding quite rapidly. In 2006, Florida had 18.3 million people, making it the fourth largest state in the nation. Between 1990 and 2000, the population of Florida grew by more than 23 percent, faster than most states, and this growth has continued into the present. Between 2000 and 2004, in fact, the population growth rate in Florida was twice that of the nation, and this growth is projected to extend for the foreseeable future. As a consequence, Florida is expected to become the nation’s third largest state by 2010, surpassing New York.1
Such rapid growth implies rapidly increasing demands not only for infrastructure such as schools, roads, and housing, but also for a wide assortment of human services, ranging from child care to nursing home care, and from education to health. This is particularly so in view of the fact that Florida has a 25 percent larger proportion of elderly residents than the nation as a whole.2 What is more, although the state has been creating jobs more quickly than most states, it also faces some serious economic challenges. For example:
• Its median wage is below the U.S. figure and its median family income is 8 percent below the U.S. figure even though its cost of living is higher.
• Twenty-one percent of its residents live without health insurance compared to 16 percent for the nation at large.

2 See the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Factfinder, accessed November 26, 2007 from http://factfinder.census.gov/home/saff/main.html?_lang=en.
• Only 40 percent of Florida’s private sector workers are covered by an employer-sponsored retirement plan, well below the national average of 50 percent.
• Florida’s unemployment compensation law is considered one of the more limited in the nation, covering only 29.4 percent of the state’s private workers, well below the 40.2 percent national rate.3
What is the nonprofit sector?
These limitations of the social safety net available to Floridians translate into significant demands on the state’s private nonprofit sector. But what exactly is the “nonprofit sector”?
The answer to this simple question is unfortunately rather complex. For one reason, U.S. tax law actually delineates no fewer than twenty-seven separate sections under which organizations can claim exemption from federal income taxes as nonprofit organizations (see Figure 1.1). These categories include social welfare organizations, business leagues, and credit unions, to name just a few.
Of these, our focus is on organizations that claim tax exemp-tion under just one of these sections—Section 501(c)(3), which is reserved for “charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary,” and related organizations. Included here are private, not-for-profit hospitals, clinics, colleges, universities, elementary schools, social service agencies, child care centers, orchestras, museums, theaters, environ-mental organizations, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and many more.
Gaining a clear understanding of these organizations is further complicated, however, by the inadequacies of our statistical systems. At least four different sources of data are available on the nation’s nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations, and they offer different pictures of even the most basic parameters of Florida’s nonprofit sector. For example:
• One of these sources, the Internal Revenue Service’s Exempt Organization Master File, puts the number of 501(c)(3) organizations in Florida as of 2005 at 46,587. But this listing is rarely purged and may include many
defunct organizations (see Figure 1.2).
• A more precise picture includes only the organizations that have actually filed the Form 990 that the IRS requires of all non-religious nonprofit organizations with at least $25,000 in expenditures and the Form 990-PF that the IRS requires of all private foundations. These listings record 17,814 Florida nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations as of 2005, of which 4,128 are private foundations.
• Yet a third picture of the scope of the nonprofit universe in Florida is available from the employment data compiled by the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation in coop-eration with the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (the so-called ES-202 data set). This body of data, which covers all nonprofits with at least 4 employees, identifies just 6,192 nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations in Florida.
Clearly, considerable care must consequently be taken in analyzing the scope of the Florida nonprofit sector, even when we restrict our attention to the 501(c)(3) “charitable” portion of this sector, as we do here. Generally speaking, the data are more reliable to depict the scale of the sector’s resources—its revenues, expenditures, and employment—than the number of organizations. We therefore focus on these variables here.
To do so, we draw on several different data sources—data from the 990 forms, from the ES-202 employment records, from recent surveys of volunteering that covered Florida, and from Internal Revenue Service data on charitable giving. The result is a comprehensive picture of the scope, distribution, and recent trends in this important, but over-looked, component of Florida’s economy and society. (For further detail on the data sources and methodology used, see Appendix A).
In the balance of this report, we outline the major findings that emerge from this analysis, focusing first on the overall scale of the Florida nonprofit sector, and then examining the other five topics identified above.

CHAPTER II: A MAJOR ECONOMIC PRESENCE
Florida’s private nonprofit 501(c)(3) sector is a major economic force in the state.
Employment
Florida’s private, nonprofit organizations employed nearly 630,000 workers as of the second quarter of 2005. This includes 380,000 paid workers and an additional 250,000 full-time equivalent volunteer workers.
• This workforce makes Florida’s nonprofit sector the fourth largest industry in the state in terms of employment4 (see Figure 2.1). In fact, including paid workers and full-time equivalent volunteer workers, Florida nonprofits employ:
- Twenty-one times more workers than the state’s utilities industry;5
- Six times more workers than the state’s renowned agri-culture industry;
- More than three and a half times as many workers as the state’s real estate and information industries;6
- Close to twice as many workers as the state’s wholesale and finance and insurance industries; and
- About 10 percent more workers than the state’s entire construction industry.
• The paid workforce of Florida nonprofits alone represents a significant 4.9 percent of the total Florida workforce (or 1 out of every 20 workers), more than the state’s banking and insurance industry.
Finances7
In addition to being a sizeable employer, the Florida nonprofit sector has a sizeable financial footprint in the state. In particular, Florida nonprofits as of 2005:
• Generated $48.1 billion in revenues;

• Spent over $44.5 billion, including over $14.6 billion in wages and compensation; and
• Held nearly $76.2 billion in total assets.
Moreover, through the $14.6 billion in wages and compen-sation that they paid, Florida’s nonprofits generated at least $300 million of sales tax revenues for Florida governments.
Florida Nonprofits in Context
Though sizeable, however, Florida’s nonprofit sector is proportionally smaller than its counterparts elsewhere in the nation. Thus:
• The nonprofit share of total employment in Florida, at 4.9 percent, is below the 7.2 percent U.S. average as well as the 6.0 percent Southeast average (see Figure 2.2).
• It is also below the averages in other major states, including New York (13.3 percent), Ohio (8.0 percent), and Cali-fornia (5.1 percent) (see Figure 2.2).
• Reflecting this, nonprofit expenditures per capita in Florida at $2,505 are nearly one-third less than in the nation as a whole and a quarter less than in the Southeast Region (see Figure 2.3).
• Similarly, nonprofit expenditures per $1,000 of gross state product in Florida at $73 are nearly a quarter less than in the nation as a whole ($93) and 16 percent below the Southeast Region average ($87) (see Figure 2.4).
In short, Florida’s nonprofit sector is an economic powerhouse, generating and expending billions of dollars and employing a significant proportion of Floridians. However, this sector remains relatively smaller in Florida than its counterparts across the country.
CHAPTER III: A DIVERSE SECTOR
Florida’s nonprofit sector is not only large. It is also highly diverse by field, location, and size.
Distribution of Organizations by Field
Nonprofits in Florida are active in a wide range of fields, including the arts, education, health, social services, and civic life.
• Over a third (37 percent) of Florida nonprofits are civic organizations. The bulk of these are grantmaking and giving services groups, which comprise a significant 14 percent of all Florida nonprofits. Other organizations within this category include civic and social organizations (10 percent) and social advocacy groups (5 percent) (see Figure 3.1).
• Twenty percent of all Florida nonprofits are in the arts, culture, humanities, and recreation field.
• Eighteen percent of all Florida nonprofits are in the youth development, human services, and food and shelter field.
• Ten percent of the state’s nonprofits are in the health field. This includes nursing homes (4 percent), hospitals (1.3 percent), and other health-oriented organizations (5 percent).
• Eight percent of all nonprofits are in the education field, including higher education and other education. Higher education organizations represent just 0.6 percent of nonprofits in the state.

Distribution of Resources by Field
While the largest proportion of Florida’s nonprofits are civic groups, the largest proportion of the state’s nonprofit resources are in the health field. Thus:
• Representing just 10 percent of all nonprofits in the state, health organizations accounted for an impressive 60 percent of the sector’s expenditures and 61 percent of the sector’s employment in 2005 (see Figure 3.1).
• Hospitals controlled the bulk of these resources—repre-senting just 1 percent of all nonprofits in the state, hospi-tals accounted for nearly half (47 percent) of the sector’s expenditures and two-fifths of its employment.
• Conversely, though comprising 20 percent of all nonprofits in the state, arts, culture, humanities, and recreation orga-nizations accounted for just 3 percent of the sector’s expenditures, and 2 percent of its employment.
• As shown in Figure 3.2, the distribution of nonprofit expen-ditures in Florida diverges somewhat from the national pattern. More specifically, Florida hospitals; youth devel-opment, human services, and food and shelter organiza-tions; and nursing homes account for a larger share of total nonprofit expenditures than their counterparts nationwide; and Florida other health, higher education, and grantmaking and giving services organizations account for a smaller share of total nonprofit expenditures than their counterparts nationwide.

Geographic Distribution
Florida’s nonprofits are also geographically diverse. Two-thirds of the state’s nonprofit organizations and over three-quarters of the state’s nonprofit workers are located within three regions—the Southeast Region, the Tampa Bay Region, and the East Central Region (see Appendix B for a description of these regions). Not surprisingly, the bulk of the state’s population also resides in these areas. Thus:
• Over 29 percent of Florida’s nonprofit employment is located in the state’s Southeast Region, which contains Miami (see Figure 3.3).
- Within this region, slightly more than half (52 percent) of all nonprofit employees are located in Miami-Dade County. Sizeable proportions of these employees are also located in Palm Beach (21 percent) and Broward Counties (19 percent).
• Nearly 25 percent of Florida’s nonprofit employment is located in the Tampa Bay Region.
- Within this region, the bulk of nonprofit employees are concentrated in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties, each of which accounts for nearly a third of this region’s nonprofit employment.
• The East Central Region, which includes Orlando, accounts for about 22 percent of the state’s nonprofit employment.
- Within this region, nearly half (48 percent) of all nonprofit employment is located in Orange County. Another third of this region’s nonprofit employment is fairly evenly split between Brevard (17 percent) and Volusia (16 percent) Counties.
While nonprofit employment is concentrated in these three regions, however, the density of nonprofit employment is actually higher in other regions. For example:
• In the North Central Region, nonprofits account for 7.9 percent of total employment, well above the state average of 4.9 percent (see Figure 3.4).

• Other regions in which nonprofits account for above average shares of total employment include the North-east Region (6.1 percent), the East Central Region (5.7 percent), and the Tampa Bay Region (5.5 percent).
• Counties with especially sizeable nonprofit shares of total employment include Madison (10.4 percent), Alachua (9.8 percent), Escambia (8.3 percent), and Volusia (8.1 percent).
Size Variation
Florida nonprofits also vary widely by size.
• Most (80 percent) Florida nonprofits, or 4 out of every 5 organizations, are relatively small, with revenues less than $1 million. But these organizations account for only 4.3 percent of all Florida nonprofit expenditures (see Figure 3.5).
• By contrast, most (63 percent) Florida nonprofit expendi-tures are made by the one percent of Florida nonprofits with revenues in excess of $50 million.
In short, Florida’s nonprofit sector is made up of a consider-able array of organizations of various sizes, operating in a wide range of fields and locations.

CHAPTER IV: REVENUES AND GENEROSITY
The revenue base of Florida’s nonprofits, like that of the nation’s, differs significantly from what is widely believed.
Gaining a clear idea of the revenue base of Florida’s nonprofits is complicated by quirks in the available data sources. These unfortunately merge government grants together with charitable gifts. In addition, they group government contracts and “voucher” payments such as Medicare and Medicaid together with nonprofit fees from sales of their services. This has the effect of overstating the share of nonprofit revenue that comes from both private charity and fees and understating the share that comes from government. Nevertheless, it is still possible to reach several conclusions about the revenue base of Florida nonprofits.
Fees and Government the Dominant Sources
Unquestionably, the major sources of Florida nonprofit revenue are government and fees for service.
• At least 75 percent of Florida’s nonprofit revenue came from government and fees as of 2005, and this does
not even include the government support that reaches nonprofits in the form of grants.
• This means that no more than one-fourth of total nonprofit income came from gifts and grants, and that charitable support was likely less than this since the 25 percent figure includes government grants (see Figure 4.1).8
• As Figure 4.1 shows, this average obscures some signifi-cant variations by field. Specifically:
- Social advocacy organizations relied most heavily on grants and contributions, which accounted for 91 percent of their total income.
- Other fields in which grants and contributions consti-tuted well over half of nonprofit income included civic and social (65 percent); youth, human services, and food and shelter (60 percent); and grantmaking and giving services (60 percent).
- By contrast, nonprofit hospitals and nursing homes received the lion’s share of their income from govern-ment and fees and less than 10 percent from grants and contributions.

Figure 4.3: Volunteering rate in Florida vs. the nation, 2006
9 Adjusted gross income (AGI) represents a person’s gross income adjusted by certain IRS-allowed deductions (e.g., mortgage interest deduction, home property tax deduction, charitable deduction). AGI is used by the IRS to calculate an individual’s income tax liability.
Relative Generosity
As Figure 4.1 also shows, Florida nonprofits received a higher proportion of their income from grants and contri-butions in 2005 than did nonprofits on average nationally (25.3 vs. 21.7 percent). It would be wrong to read into this figure a finding that Floridians are more generous than their counterparts elsewhere, however. The grants and contri-butions share may appear higher simply because other sources—particularly government contracts and voucher payments—are lower in Florida than elsewhere.
This conclusion certainly finds support in other data that report more directly on the degree of generosity of Florid-ians. Such data are available from the Internal Revenue Service for taxpayers who itemize their deductions. These data suggest that Florida lags the nation in relative gener-
osity. In particular, as reflected in Figure 4.2:
• For each $1,000 of adjusted gross income,9 Floridians contributed an average of $23.55 to nonprofit organiza-tions in 2005.
• This puts Florida five percent below the U.S. average ($23.55 vs. $24.66, respectively).
• In addition, this puts Florida 7 percent behind California and 20 percent behind New York.
Volunteering Rate
In addition to lagging the nation in its rate of chari-table giving, Florida also lags the nation in its rate of volunteering.

• To be sure, 2.7 million Floridians, or 18.6 percent of the adult population, volunteered in 2006 alone. While size-able, it falls 30 percent below the U.S. rate and more than 20 percent below the rate in the Southeast. It also falls well below the rates in Ohio, Texas, and California (see Figure 4.3).
• Florida’s volunteer workers are disproportionately white, female, and non-Hispanic. Volunteer workers also tend to
be college educated and married (see Figure 4.4).
• As illustrated in Figure 4.5, these volunteer workers engaged in a wide range of activities, including fund-raising (26 percent); collecting, preparing, distributing, or serving food (23 percent); tutoring/teaching (20 percent); and mentoring (19 percent).
• Florida’s volunteer workers also worked at a diverse range of organizations (see Figure 4.6).

- Over 1 million Florida volunteer workers, or 38 percent of the state’s total, assisted religious organizations in 2006.
- Significant proportions of volunteer workers also supported children’s groups (22 percent) and social service agencies (10 percent).
Foundations
In addition to individual giving, Florida boasts a sizeable foundation sector.
• In 2005, there were 4,128 such private foundations in Florida, which generated over $2.2 billion in revenues and held over $15.1 billion in total assets (see Table 4.7).
• These groups also expended over $1.3 billion, which includes over $1 billion in contributions, gifts, and grants, and over $295 million in operating and other expenditures.
• The largest foundations in the state include the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Arthur S. DeMoss Foun-dation, The Picower Foundation, Publix Super Markets Charities, and Flight Attendant Medical Research Insti-tute, Inc. (see Table 4.8).
Like other parts of Florida’s nonprofit sector, the private foundation field in Florida has experienced tremendous growth over the past thirteen years. In particular, between 1992 and 2005:
• The number of private foundations in Florida actually doubled—a growth rate of 100 percent. This growth rate was well above the growth rate across the U.S. (67 percent), as well as above the growth rate in other major states including New York (44 percent), Ohio (56 percent), Texas (80 percent), and California (90 percent) (see Table 4.9).
1313
• Florida private foundation total giving, which includes contributions, gifts, and grants, increased by 113 percent. This rate was four times above the U.S. average of just 40 percent, and well above the growth in foundation giving in all the comparison states except California.
• Moreover, net assets held by Florida private foundations grew by 166 percent. This rate was 55 percent above the U.S. average, and well above the growth rate in other major states including New York (71 percent), Texas (81 percent), Ohio (114 percent), and California (143 percent).
Despite this growth, Florida foundation assets are propor-tionally 40 percent below the U.S. average ($22.71 per $1,000 of gross state product in Florida vs. $37.07 for the nation as a whole).
CHAPTER V: A GROWING SECTOR
The Florida nonprofit sector is not only a significant compo-nent of the Florida economy, but has also been growing, and at a rate that exceeds its counterparts elsewhere in the nation. This is true, moreover, both with respect to expenditures and with respect to employment.
Overall Growth in Expenditures
• Florida nonprofit expenditures grew by 97 percent after adjusting for inflation between 1992 and 2005. By contrast, U.S. nonprofit expenditures grew by a smaller 70 percent after adjusting for inflation during this same period, and the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) grew by only 54 percent. The growth of nonprofit expenditures in Florida also exceeded that for the Southeast generally and for other large states except for California (see Figure 5.1).
• While Florida nonprofit expenditures grew by 97 percent during this entire period, the growth rate was especially high in the early part of this period and tapered off during the latter part as the sector acquired a significant scale. At each stage, however, the growth rate of Florida nonprofit expenditures exceeded the growth rate of overall U.S. nonprofit expenditures as well as the growth rate of the U.S. GDP. In addition, at least during the early periods, 1992-1997 and 1997-2002, the growth rate of Florida nonprofit expenditures exceeded the growth rate of the state’s overall economy, often by a substantial margin (see Figure 5.2).

Variations in Expenditure Growth Rates by Field
Considerable variations are apparent from field to field in the growth rate of Florida nonprofit expenditures. In partic-ular, as shown in Figure 5.3:
• Growth was especially rapid among social advocacy orga-nizations, which boosted their expenditures 1,827 percent between 1992 and 2005.
• Other types of Florida nonprofit organizations reporting well-above-average growth in expenditures between 1992 and 2005 included civic and social (233 percent); grantmaking and giving services (196 percent); youth development, human services, and food and shelter (176
percent); other education (167 percent); arts, culture, humanities, and recreation (160 percent); and other health (155 percent).
• In all but one of these fields (grantmaking and giving services), moreover, the growth of Florida nonprofits exceeded the growth rate of U.S. nonprofits generally.
• By contrast, Florida nonprofit organizations in some fields recorded below-average growth in expenditures. Included here were science and technology (21 percent), higher education (60 percent), and hospitals (63 percent). Except for the science and technology field, however, even here the growth rates for Florida nonprofits exceeded those for nonprofits elsewhere in the country.

Nonprofit For-profit Public
10 Religious, grantmaking, and civic associations refer to the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Industry 813. While most of the report focuses on key subsets of this category (i.e., civic and social organizations, social advocacy organizations, and grantmaking and giving services groups), because comparable data on these subsets is not available for 2002, comparisons between 2002 and 2005 focus on this larger category.
Overall Employment Growth
Accompanying the growth in expenditures of Florida nonprofit organizations was a substantial growth in employ-ment. As shown in Figure 5.4:
• Between 2002 and 2005, nonprofit employment in Florida grew by 7.0 percent, adding over 24,700 jobs to the state’s total.
• The growth rate of nonprofit employment exceeded that of the state’s public sector by more than 2 to 1 (7 percent vs. 3 percent), though it lagged slightly behind the growth rate of the for-profit sector (7.0 percent vs. 8.6 percent).
Variations in Employment Growth by Region
Considerable variations were apparent in the growth of nonprofit employment among regions. In particular, as shown in Figure 5.5:
• Nonprofit job growth was particularly robust in the Tampa Bay Region, where it increased by 9.1 percent—far outpacing the 6.3 percent growth of for-profit jobs.
• Nonprofit job growth also exceeded for-profit job growth in the South Central Region, and it exceeded the state average, though not the growth rate of for-profit jobs, in the East Central Region (+8.8 percent) and the North Central Region (+7.7 percent).
• In contrast, the nonprofit sector experienced a 0.1 percent decline in jobs in the Southwest Region and had below-average gains in the Northeast Region (+5.5 percent), the Northwest Region (+5.8 percent), and the Southeast Region (+6.8 percent).
Variations in Employment Growth by Field
Although overall nonprofit employment grew by 7.0 percent between 2002 and 2005, in certain fields it clearly did better than in others. In particular, as shown in Figure 5.6:
• Nonprofit religious, grantmaking, and civic associations10 experienced the most impressive employment growth, adding over 11,200 employees between 2002 and 2005, a growth rate of 68 percent.
Source: Johns Hopkins Nonprofit Economic Data Project based on 990 data Source: Johns Hopkins Nonprofit Economic Data Project based on ES-202 data
1616
• Other fields that experienced well-above-average nonprofit job growth include arts, culture, humanities and recreation (23 percent); home health care (22 percent); and other education (16 percent).
• By contrast, the nonprofit nursing home field experienced a 4.3 percent decline in its employment during this period.
Growing For-Profit Competition and Loss of Nonprofit Market Share
Although nonprofit employment is increasing, however, in a number of major fields employment in for-profit firms is growing more rapidly. In particular, as shown in Figure 5.7:
• Nonprofit employment grew more rapidly than for-profit employment in some fields, such as religious, grant-making and civic associations; home health; arts, culture, humanities, and recreation; and other education.
• However, in some of the major fields of nonprofit involve-ment—higher education; nursing homes; youth devel-opment, human services, and food and shelter; and hospitals—the for-profit employment growth has recently been more robust. In the higher education field, for example, employment at for-profit institutions climbed by 87 percent between 2002 and 2005 while nonprofit employment grew just 7 percent. Similarly, in the youth development, human services, and food and shelter field, for-profit employment grew by 19 percent, while nonprofit employment grew by only 2.5 percent.
• Reflecting this, nonprofits are losing “market share” in a number of significant fields. Thus, as reflected in Figure 5.8, in just these three years, 2002 to 2005, the nonprofit share of total employment decreased:
- From 84.2 percent to 81.7 percent in higher education;
- From 65.6 percent to 62.8 percent among hospitals;

These developments suggest an increasingly competitive environment for nonprofit organizations in the state. They also underline the challenges nonprofits face in generating capital for expansion in times of rapid growth of the sort that the state of Florida is experiencing.
CHAPTER VI: NONPROFIT WAGES
Despite the considerable professionalization of the nonprofit workforce both in Florida and elsewhere in the nation, nonprofit wages are thought to lag badly behind those in other sectors. In fact, however, with better data it is now possible to shed some new light on nonprofit wages, and this new light reveals an interesting surprise.
Overall Wage Levels
In the first place, the new data do confirm that overall average weekly wages of nonprofit workers are lower than those of both government and for-profit workers. In partic-ular, as shown in Figure 6.1:
• The average nonprofit weekly wage as of 2005 was $642.
• By comparison, the average local government worker in Florida made $822 per week, the average state govern-ment worker made $733 per week, and the average for-profit worker made $668 per week.

Variations among Fields
These averages obscure some significant variations in the average wages of nonprofit workers in different fields, however. Thus, as shown in Figure 6.2:
• Average nonprofit weekly wages range from a low of $269 at civic and social organizations to a high of $1,259 in the field of higher education.
• Other fields in which nonprofit average weekly wages are especially low are youth development, human services, and food and shelter; nursing homes; and arts, culture, humanities, and recreation.
Nonprofit vs. For-Profit Wages in Common Fields
While nonprofit wages lag those in the for-profit sector, overall, however, this picture changes considerably when attention focuses on fields in which nonprofits and for-profits are both actively involved. In these fields, nonprofit
wage levels often exceed for-profit ones. What this suggests is that the real reason for the lower average nonprofit wages is not that nonprofits pay lower wages but rather that nonprofits are concentrated in low-wage fields. Within those industries, however, nonprofits often pay better wages.
Thus, as Figure 6.2 shows:
• In the grantmaking and giving services fields, nonprofit workers earn 37 percent more, on average, than their for-profit counterparts.
• Nonprofit home health care workers earn 26 percent more than their counterparts in for-profit facilities.
• Similarly, in the youth development, human services, and food and shelter field, nonprofit salaries average 23 percent more than for-profit ones.
This finding is consistent with suggestions by nonprofit providers that they offer high-quality services and retain especially skilled and committed staff.11

11 These variations in comparative earnings may be a result of a heavier use of part-time workers on the part of for-profit employers, but it is not possible to determine this from the available data. The average weekly wage reported in the ES-202 survey data makes no adjustment for full-time or part-time work. Industries with a greater number of part-time workers could appear to have lower average weekly wages than those with fewer part-time workers even if the actual pay rates are equal.

CHAPTER VII: CONCLUSION
Florida’s nonprofit sector is thus a powerful engine for good in the state, a $48 billion “industry” and the fourth largest employer among Florida industries. These figures do not begin, however, to convey the contributions that these orgnizations make to the quality of life of Florida resi-dents—to their health, education, cultural life, and general social welfare.
At the same time, as this report also makes clear, the Florida nonprofit sector has even greater potential. Along a number of dimensions, Florida’s nonprofit organizations are not operating at a level comparable to those in the nation at large, let alone to some of the country’s leading states.
Given the challenges facing Florida at the present time and in the years ahead, strengthening the capacity of the state’s nonprofit sector would seem an urgent state priority. Four steps in particular would contribute to this goal:
1. Improve the sector’s visibility and credibility to business and government
A first step toward strengthening the Florida nonprofit sector is to improve the sector’s visibility and credibility. Too often, what is not counted is assumed not to count, and Florida nonprofits have not enjoyed the visibility they deserve in the media, in policy councils, within the business community, or in academic circles.
Hopefully, this report will help boost awareness of nonprofit organizations and help them attract the attention they deserve. But this will only occur if the findings are actively disseminated and if regular updates are carried out. What is more, it will be important to equip Florida nonprofit managers with better information on the significant chal-lenges they are confronting and the efforts of counterpart organizations elsewhere to cope with these challenges.
2. Boost giving and volunteering
A second important step toward strengthening Florida’s nonprofit sector will require boosting the sector’s sources of support. As this report has shown, the overall scale of the nonprofit sector in Florida is not yet on a par with that of the nation at large.
One reason for this appears to be that the levels of giving and volunteer work in Florida are below the national averages. By launching a campaign to boost the levels of both giving and volunteering, Florida could significantly strengthen its nonprofit sector. As an illustration of what could be accom-plished in the short term:
• If the level of charitable giving in Florida measured as the amount of giving per $1,000 of adjusted gross income reached the U.S. average, this would translate into an addi-tional $530 million of revenue for Florida nonprofits.
• If the level of charitable giving reached the level that exists in California, this would translate into an additional $790 million of revenue for Florida nonprofits.
• If Florida’s volunteering rate reached the U.S. average, Florida nonprofits would have over 100,000 additional full-time equivalent workers.
3. Strengthen cooperation and collaboration with government
Important though they are, giving and volunteer work cannot by themselves bring Florida nonprofits to the level of nonprofits elsewhere in terms of the scale of their operations. For nonprofit expenditures per $1,000 of gross state product in Florida to reach parity with national averages, $12 billion of additional revenue would be needed. Boosting charitable giving as described above would yield at most $790 million of this.
What this suggests is the need to strengthen the partnership between nonprofit organizations and government in Florida. The single biggest determinant of the scale of nonprofit activity around the country is the extent to which govern-ment is supportive of it. That Florida nonprofits appear to be lagging behind national averages is likely due to the relatively limited support nonprofits receive from the public sector in this state. Closing the gap between Florida nonprofits and their counterparts in other parts of the country will therefore depend heavily on the willingness of state government to lend a bigger helping hand.
4. Build nonprofit capacity
Finally, given the enormous stake that Florida has in the health and viability of its nonprofit sector and to the effec-tiveness and efficiency with which it carries out its func-tions, far more attention is needed to the training of nonprofit managers and to the improvement of nonprofit capacity. As this report has documented, these organizations are major enterprises facing enormous demands. They therefore require the same kind of attention to organizational func-tioning and organizational support as do sizable business enterprises or units of government. This is especially so given the rapid technological, economic, and demographic changes under way at the present time. These consider-ations have led to the widespread adoption of management training programs and the growth of support organizations in the business sector, but support for such developments have been far more limited in the nonprofit field. Recruiting nonprofit managers, equipping them to remain on the cutting-edge of knowledge and experience, preparing them for the difficult management challenges they will face, and improving the flow of practice-relevant knowledge to them thus become urgent components of any meaningful program of sector strengthening and improvement.
Florida finds itself today in the midst of massive social and demographic changes that are generating enormous pres-sures and demands. A strong and vibrant nonprofit sector is needed to help the state cope with these pressures and ensure that all the state’s citizens will have access to the opportuni-ties that the changes also bring. This report has documented the substantial strengths that Florida’s nonprofits possess. But it has also brought to light the extent to which this set of institutions lags behind national averages. Given the seri-ousness of existing pressures, it seems only prudent for state leaders to get busy now to make sure that Florida’s nonprofit sector is up to the challenge.

APPENDIX A: METHODOLOGICAL NOTE
The data for this study come primarily from four sources. The first is the aggregate data set of organizations exempt from income tax under section 501(c)(3) produced by the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, which is administered by state Labor Market Information agencies and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The second source is the database of organizations exempt from income tax under section 501(c)(3) produced by the National Center for Char-itable Statistics (NCCS) at the Urban Institute from the tax reports filed by tax-exempt organizations (IRS Form 990) to the Internal Revenue Service. The third source is comprised of private foundation files produced by NCCS from tax returns (IRS Form 990-PF), and Form 1023 filed with the IRS, available online for public use. The fourth source is the September Supplement to the Current Population Survey, administered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and avail-able online for public use. In addition to these four main data sources, we used supplementary data from the Bureau of Economic Analyses (Gross State Product) and Indi-vidual Income and Tax Data tables produced by the Internal Revenue Service and available online for public use.
1. Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW)
QCEW is the major source of employment and wage data used in this report. The data are collected as part of the Covered Employment and Wages Program, commonly referred to as the ES-202 program, a cooperative initiative involving state employment security agencies and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The ES-202 program produces a comprehensive tabulation of employment and wage information for workers covered by state unemployment insurance laws and federal workers covered by the Unem-ployment Compensation for Federal Employees Program.
The ES-202 program accounts for approximately 98 percent of all wage and salary civilian employment nationally (the program does not cover self-employed and family workers). Under federal law, all nonprofit places of employment with
four or more employees are required to participate in the unemployment insurance system. At their discretion, states can extend this requirement to nonprofit places of employ-ment with one or more employees. However, Florida has not extended the coverage beyond the federal mandate.
The principal exclusions from the ES-202 data set are employees of religious organizations, railroad workers, small-scale agriculture workers, domestic service workers, crew members on small vessels, state and local govern-ment elected officials, and insurance and real estate agents who receive payment solely by commission. In terms of nonprofit employment, the exclusion of religious organiza-tions as well as entities with less than four employees is the most significant; however, religious organizations may elect to be covered by the unemployment insurance program and those that do are covered in the data. At this time the exact number of employees in tax-exempt establishments not covered by QCEW is not known, but we estimate it to be no more than thirteen percent of total employment in the nonprofit sector in Florida.12
The number of employees is measured by the number of filled jobs for the pay period that includes the 12th day of each month as reported by the employer. Both part-time and full-time employees are included in the data set. If a person holds two jobs, that person would be counted twice in the data set. Wages include bonuses, stock options, the cash value of meals and lodging, and tips and other gratu-ities. The employment data for nonprofit organizations were identified by matching ES-202 microdata with registries of tax-exempt firms provided by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. We were able to identify 6,192 nonprofit establish-ments with 4 or more employees in Florida.
The ES-202 data allow classification of establishments by type of activity using the North American Industrial Clas-sification System (NAICS) and by location using Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) county codes. These classification systems allow convenient comparisons of tax-exempt entities to for-profit and public entities within narrowly defined activity or geographic areas.
For the purpose of this report, we have chosen to focus on
12 This estimation is based on the comparison of total wages of the tax exempt entities identified in QCEW ($12.7 bn in 2005) and total compensation of employees reported by the IRS Form 990 filers ($14.6 bn in 2005.) The difference between these two figures, $1.9 bn (13% of $14.6 bn), can be interpreted as a rough estimate of the maximum under-reporting of employment due to differences in coverage between these two data sources. In reality, that error is likely to be smaller, because the Form 990 definition of compensation is somewhat broader than that used in QCEW reports.

the “charitable” portion of the nonprofit sector. This includes organizations registered with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which embraces private, not-for-profit hospitals, clinics, colleges, universities, elementary schools, social service agencies, child care centers, orchestras, museums, theaters, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and many more. In addition to Section 501(c)(3), the Internal Revenue Code contains 25 other subsections under which organizations can claim exemption from federal income taxation as nonprofit organizations. Section 501(c)(3) is by far the most important of these, the one that covers the bulk of nonprofit organiza-tions, and the one with the organizations most commonly associated with the nonprofit sector.
2. IRS Form 990 data
The IRS Form 990 database is the main source of financial variables for public charities that filed Form 990 with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The 990 database includes 13,686 nonprofit organizations located in Florida in 2005.
The Form 990 database uses FIPS county codes to designate the geographical location of each organization, which allows breaking down the data into counties and regions. However, the Form 990 database uses the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE), a hierarchical classification system that categorizes organizations according to their stated orga-nizational purpose. This creates a problem in matching the Form 990 data with the QCEW, which uses the North Amer-ican Industrial Classification System (NAICS). Since NAICS allows comparisons of nonprofit entities to their for-profit counterparts within narrowly defined fields of activity, which NTEE cannot do, we mapped the NTEE codes to NAICS codes, using the conversion tables produced by the National Center for Charitable Statistics.
Another limitation of the Form 990 data is that revenues are reported by the transaction types (grants and donations vs. program service revenues) rather than by the sources of those revenues. Although the IRS Form 990 provides an opportu-nity for itemizing revenues by source, this is seldom done by the filers. As a result, funding received from government (in the form of grants or payments for services) are lumped together with those received from the households and the private sector.
Finally, the Form 990 database contains apparent data errors that sometimes produce out-of-range values (for example, small organizations reporting billions of dollars in employee compensation or revenues). To minimize the impact of these errors, we top-coded outliers to the values consistent with other financial data reported by a given organization (for example, out-of-range compensation of employees equals total revenues).
We obtained the following financial variables for tax-exempt organizations from the Form 990 database: total expenses, compensations of employees (calculated by adding compen-sation of top officers and that of other employees), contribu-tions (from government and households), program service revenues, total revenues, assets and liabilities at the begin-ning of the fiscal year, and assets and liabilities at the end of the fiscal year. For longitudinal comparisons, all financial variables were converted to constant 2000 dollars using the chain-type price index for personal consumption expendi-tures in the service sector, 1995-2006.
3. IRS Form 990-PF and IRS Form 1023
The data on foundations were obtained from files produced by the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS), derived from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Exempt Organiza-tions Business Master File, and the IRS Return Transaction Files. The Business Master File contains mostly data from IRS Forms 1023 and 1024. The IRS Return Transaction Files contain data from Forms 990, Form 990-EZ, and Form 990-PF. IRS Return Transaction Files form the basis for the NCCS “Core Files.” For further details on NCCS methodology, refer to the National Center for Charitable Statistics Guide to Using NCCS Data available online at http://nccsdataweb.urban.org/kbfiles/468/NCCS-data-guide-2006c.pdf.
We collected the following variables for private foundations: number of organizations, total revenue, contributions/gifts/grants paid, operating and other expenses, total assets, and net assets. For longitudinal comparisons, financial variables were converted to constant 2000 dollars using chain-type price indexes for personal consumption expenditures in the service sector, available online from the White House Council of Economic Advisers at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/eop/2007/B7.xls.

4. Current Population Survey — September Supplement
The data on volunteering were collected through a September Supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS). The CPS is a monthly survey of about 60,000 house-holds conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It focuses on obtaining information on employment and unemployment among the nation’s civilian noninstitutional population age 16 and over. The purpose of this supplement to the CPS was to obtain information on the incidence of volunteering and the characteristics of volunteers in the United States. For further details on CPS methodology see Bureau of Labor Statistics, Volunteering in the United States, 2006 Technical Note, available online at http://www.bls.gov/news.release/volun.tn.htm.
We obtained the total number of persons who volunteered in the U.S., as well as the number of volunteer hours, which allowed us to estimate volunteering rates and the full-time equivalent (FTE) of volunteer input.13 We also used socio-demographic variables available in the CPS data as well as activity areas. However, the activity areas used in the September Supplement to describe types of volunteer work do not match classification systems used in the other data sources (NAICS or NTEE), which made it impossible to report volunteer input by specific industry.
13 Volunteering rate is calculated by the diving the number of volunteers by the total adult population. The number of FTE volunteers is calculated by dividing the total number of volunteer hours in the population by the average annual number of hours worked in a full-time job (1,758).

APPENDIX BNORTHWEST REGION
Overview
• The Northwest Region encompasses Florida’s capital city, Tallahassee, and other key urban centers, including Pensacola, Ft. Walton Beach, and Panama City.
• Major industries include information technology, semi-conductors, and aviation/aerospace/defense.
• Northwest Florida also accounts for eight percent of the state’s nonprofit organizations. Major nonprofits based in the region include Holmes County Hospital Corpora-tion, Pensacola Christian College, Sacred Heart Health System, and The Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida (see Tables B1.1-1.4).
A Snapshot of the Region’s Nonprofit Finances
• Northwest nonprofits generated over $2.7 billion in reve-nues (5.7 percent of the state’s total nonprofit revenues) and held over $3.8 billion in assets (5.0 percent of the state’s total nonprofit assets) in 2005 (see Table B1.5).
• These nonprofits expended roughly $2.6 billion (5.7 percent of the state’s total nonprofit expenditures) in 2005. This translates into $1,966 of nonprofit expenditures per capita, which falls 22 percent below the state average.
A Snapshot of the Region’s Nonprofit Employment
• With 24,444 nonprofit employees, this region accounted for 6.4 percent of Florida’s nonprofit employment in 2005. This proportion is just below the region’s share of the state’s total population (6.4 percent vs. 7.3 percent, respectively) (see Table B1.6).
• Nonprofit employment in the Northwest Region accounted for just 4.6 percent of the region’s total employment, which is slightly less than the state average of 4.9 percent.
• Between 2002 and 2005, nonprofit employment in the Northwest Region grew by 5.8 percent. This falls below the state average of 7.0 percent and the region’s 9.4 percent growth in for-profit employment.

NORTH CENTRAL REGION
Overview
• The North Central region encompasses the cities of Gaines-ville and Ocala.
• The region is known for its concentration of high-tech companies, including those in biotechnology, pharmaceu-ticals, medical devices, and electronics, as well as for its health care industry.
• North Central Florida also accounts for three percent of the state’s nonprofit organizations. Major nonprofits based in the region include Hippodrome State Theatre, Univer-sity Athletic Association, Shands Teaching Hospital and Clinics, and Child Care Resources (see Tables B2.1-2.4).
A Snapshot of the Region’s Nonprofit Finances
