U.S. Based International Nonprofits
A new report put out by the Urban Institute, "The International Charitable Nonprofit Subsector: Scope, Size, and Revenue", found that U.S. based international nonprofits are running on a decreasing money supply. The report analyzes data from fiscal years 2001-2003 from about 2,600 nonprofits with $25,000 or more in annual revenue, dividing U.S.-based international nonprofits into three main categories; international development and assistance, international understanding, and international affairs.
Of the three-fourths involved in international development and relief assistance, almost four in 10 had negative operating margins in 2003. Forty-four percent of organizations working to improve international understanding, and 47 percent of organizations concerned with international affairs, ran a deficit in 2003, the report says.
However, an increasing number of international nonprofits also have increasing revenue.
The Philanthropy Journal covered the release of this report.
