The Center on Nonprofits, Philanthropy, and Social Enterprise at George Mason University is the new home of the work that seeks to improve the effectiveness of nonprofit organizations, philanthropy, and social enterprise through research, training, public education, and other initiatives that engage those who care about these important institutions and activities.
The regional Center recently published the George Mason University – Nonprofit Employment Data Project Briefing #1, that reports that nonprofit employment is estimated to have recovered from the COVID Pandemic-Related losses. According to the report, when compared to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data from 2017, as of the end of 2022, nonprofits in the U.S. are estimated to have added 107,000 jobs, an increase of .86% over the 12.5 million workers employed by these institutions in 2017.
