  California Association of Nonprofits and The Nonprofit Institute, University of San Diego

  California’s nonprofits bring more than $40 billion into California each year from out-of-state sources, and one in every 14 California jobs is at a nonprofit.

  Like the inaugural Causes Count report in 2014, this “Causes Count 2.0” report summarizes the noteworthy size, variety, diversity, activities, accomplishments, and overall magnitude and importance of California’s nonprofit sector.

  The research was conducted by The Nonprofit Institute at the University of San Diego, working alongside Calnonprofits staff. The research involved finding and scrutinizing many different sources of data to create this synthesized exposé of the breadth, depth, and strength of California’s nonprofit sector.

  Policymakers, nonprofit leaders, and philanthropic leaders will find this report has new and relevant data that can inform public policy, grantmaking plans, and strategies for individual nonprofits and ecosystems.
