This study reveals for the first time the size, scope and economic significance of California’s nonprofits, relying on data that has never before been aggregated. The groundbreaking report was commissioned by the California Association of Nonprofits (CalNonprofits), the statewide policy alliance of more than 10,000 organizations. The research was conducted by Dr. Laura Deitrick of the Caster Center and was guided by an advisory panel of more than 30 nonprofit leaders from throughout California.
