KEY FINDINGS NONPROFITS: A MAJOR ECONOMIC PRESENCE PAGE 4

EMPLOYMENT. With nearly 365,200 workers—including 235,100 paid workers and 130,100 full-­‐time equivalent volunteer workers—Virginia’s nonprofit sector is the third largest employer among Virginia industries.

FINANCES. Amassing over $39.2 billion in revenues, spending over $37.9 billion, holding nearly $78.0 billion in assets, and generating $313 million in income tax revenues for state government, Virginia’s nonprofit sector has a substantial financial footprint in the state.

COMPARATIVE SIZE. Though sizeable, Virginia’s nonprofit sector is smaller than its counterparts nationally. At 6.6 percent, the nonprofit share of total employment in Virginia trails the South Atlantic average of 7.1 percent and is well below the U.S. average of 8.4 percent.

REGIONAL DIFFERENCES. Virginia’s nonprofit sector would be even smaller if not for the large number of nonprofits in the northern part of the state, near Washington, D.C.

A DIVERSE SECTOR PAGE 7

IMPACTS. Active in a range of fields—from social services, healthcare, and education to civic life and the arts— Virginia nonprofits are serving and enriching both individuals and communities.

FIELDS. While the bulk of Virginia’s nonprofits are religious, grantmaking, and civic groups, most of the state’s nonprofit economic activity and resources are concentrated in the health field.

STATEWIDE PRESENCE. Although three-­‐quarters of the state’s nonprofit organizations and workers are located within the Northern, Hampton Roads, and Central regions, nonprofits account for above average shares of total employment in other areas, including the West Central, Valley, and Eastern regions.

REVENUES AND GENEROSITY

PAGE 12

SOURCES OF REVENUE. The major sources of revenue for Virginian

nonprofits are government and fees, which account for about two-­‐

thirds of total nonprofit revenues. Just a third of nonprofit income

comes from gifts and grants.

GIVING. Charitable giving in Virginia, measured as a share of adjusted

gross income, is marginally above the U.S. average.

FOUNDATIONS. Although Virginia’s 1,842 private foundations held over

$5.85 billion in total assets and expended over $655 million, the state’s

foundation field is much smaller than its counterparts nationwide.

A GROWING SECTOR

PAGE 16

OVERALL GROWTH. Virginia’s nonprofit sector experienced

phenomenal growth over the past 11 years, with both its expenditures

and employment expanding at rates exceeding the national average.

ROFIT COMPETITION. Although nonprofit employment FOR-­‐P

increased in most fields between 2000 and 2011, for-­‐profit

employment in these fields also increased, in most cases much faster

than nonprofit employment. As a result, nonprofits actually lost market

share in key fields including social assistance, universities, hospitals,

and nursing home care.

RECENT ECONOMIC STRESS. Although the 2009 American Recovery &

Reinvestment Act, which directed new revenues to nonprofits, helped

shield Virginia’s nonprofits from the full impact of the 2007-­‐ 09

recession, the state’s nonprofit sector experienced considerable strains

following the economic downturn. Reflecting this, nonprofit

employment has experienced just marginal growth since 2009.

NONPROFIT WAGES

PAGE 23

While the average weekly wages of nonprofit workers are lower than

those of for-­‐ profit workers, in fields in which both nonprofits and for-­‐

profits are involved, nonprofit workers often earn more than their for-­‐

profit counterparts.

Largely invisible to most Virginians is a set of institutions that, taken together, con-­‐

stitute the state’s third largest employer, deliver the lion’s share of health, cultural

and social services, enliven the state’s democracy, and add immeasurably to its

citizens’ overall quality of life.

This component of Virginia’s many communities is the vast array of private hospit-­‐

als, universities, symphonies, art galleries, soup kitchens, nursing homes, family

service agencies, churches, civic agencies, environmental groups, and other diverse

organizations that comprise Virginia’s private "nonprofit sector."

The present report builds on the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society’s earlier 1

That report analysis of Virginia’s nonprofit sector, which was published in 2008.

made clear that Virginian nonprofit organizations play a far more important part in

Virginia’s economy and society than is widely recognized. More specifically, cover-­‐ ing the decade between 1995 and 2005, that report brought to light four key

points:

1) Virginia’s nonprofit sector was a major economic force in the state, employing

211,000 workers (more than the state’s banking and insurance, and real estate

and leasing industries combined) and generating $30.7 billion in revenues.

2) Though sizeable, the state’s nonprofit sector was proportionally smaller than its

counterparts elsewhere in the nation.

3) Virginia’s nonprofit employment grew nearly twice as fast as for-­‐ profit em-­‐

ployment over this 10-­‐ y ear period.

4) Because for-­‐ profits operating in traditional nonprofit fields grew more rapidly

over this decade than their nonprofit counterparts, Virginia nonprofits lost

"market share" in a number of major fields.

In light of the recent economic downturn, it is critical to re-­‐ assess how Virginia’s

nonprofits have fared since our 2008 publication, and more importantly, through

and following the 2007–2009 national recession. Similar to the previous report,

this update analyzes several major topics:

o The overall size of Virginia’s nonprofit sector—the number of organizations

and their expenditures, assets, and number of workers.

o The distribution of nonprofit activity by field, region, and size of organization.

o The sources of nonprofit revenue.

o The extent of nonprofit growth over the past decade.

o The resulting changes in the "market position" of nonprofit providers.

o The relative wage levels of nonprofit vs. for-­‐ profit employers.

Moreover, following the recent economic downturn, this report examines how the

state’s nonprofit sector fared not only during the 2007-­‐2009 recession, but also

through its immediate aftermath (i.e., 2009-­‐2011).

What emerges from this discussion is a picture of a set of institutions with far

greater economic heft than is commonly recognized. However, the analysis also

reveals real and growing threats to the sector’s health, including increased compe-­‐

tition from for-­‐ profit entities and lingering effects from the recession.

Before elaborating on these findings, however, it is critical to describe the context within which Virginia’s nonprofit organizations are now operating because this defines the needs to which nonprofits must respond. In addition, it will be useful to spell out more precisely what the nonprofit sector is and what portion of it this report focuses on.

VIRGINIA REALITIES—THE CONTEXT OF NONPROFIT OPERATIONS Population growth. Virginia nonprofits are operating in a state that is growing faster than most others across the country. In fact, between 2000 and 2010, Virginia ranked 6th in the nation in terms of population growth (i.e., the actual number of people added to the state) and 16th in terms of its growth rate (13 percent).2 As of 2011, the Census Bureau estimated Virginia’s pop-­‐ ulation to be 8.1 million, making it the 13th largest state in the nation.3

This growth, however, has not been uniform across the state. More specifically, the vast majori-­‐ ty of the state’s total population growth (82 percent) was concentrated in the state’s already most populous regions—Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Hampton Roads. Such significant growth translates into increased demands not only for infrastructure such as schools and hous-­‐ ing, but also for a wide range of human and community services ranging from child care to nursing homes, and from recreational facilities to health clinics.

Increasing diversity. Moreover, this growth is leading to an increasingly diverse population.

Over the past decade, Virginia’s Hispanic population grew by 92 percent—from just 4.7 percent of Virginia’s population to nearly 8.0 percent—making it the state’s fastest growing minority group. The state’s Asian population also experienced significant growth, increasing by nearly 70 percent to reach 5.5 percent of the state’s total population over this same period. These changes place additional strains on the state’s nonprofits as they adjust to serve new groups of people.

Economic pressures. Unfortunately, these demands come at a time when the state is still try-­‐ ing to recover from the 2007-­‐09 national recession. Demonstrating the challenging fiscal and social problems facing the state are these troubling statistics:

o Poverty. Virginia’s poverty rate has been rising since 2006. Although, at 11.1 percent, this rate remains one of the lowest in the nation, that fact masks some severe regional dispar-­‐ ities. For instance, in 2010, nearly 20 percent of people residing in Virginia’s Southside (19.9 percent) and Southwest (18.9 percent) regions lived below the poverty line; by con-­‐ trast, just 6 percent of people from the Northern region lived in poverty.4 o Health coverage. Between 2009 and 2010, the number of Virginians without health cov-­‐

erage rose by 10 percent, significantly exceeding the national increase of 7 percent. As a result, nearly 15 percent of all Virginians between ages 19 and 65 lacked health insur-­‐ ance.5 o Unemployment. Unemployment in the state increased by 14 percent between 2009 and

2010—the largest increase in unemployment among all South Atlantic states—and reached 7.5 percent in 2010, its highest level since the recession of the early 1980s.6 o Budget shortfalls. Virginia has an estimated $145 million budget shortfall for fiscal year

2013, which could force the state to reduce spending on a range of human services.7

WHAT IS THE NONPROFIT SECTOR, AND HOW DO WE MEASURE IT?

These serious social and economic challenges translate into significant demands on the state’s

private nonprofit sector. But what exactly is the "nonprofit sector"?

For the purposes of this report, we focus on 501(c)(3) organizations, which are defined in U.S. 8

tax law as "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 complicated. There are several differ-­‐ ent sources of data on 501(c)(3) organizations, each of which offer different pictures of even

9 Because the data depicting the scale the most basic parameters of Virginia’s nonprofit sector.

of the sector’s resources—its revenues, expenditures, and employment— are more reliable

than those depicting the number of organizations, this report focuses on these variables ra-­‐

ther than on counting organizations or establishments.

To do so, we draw on several different data sources—the Form 990 filings nonprofits submit to

the IRS, the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) employment records, recent

surveys of volunteering carried out by the U.S. Census Bureau, and Internal Revenue Service

data on charitable giving. The result is a comprehensive picture of the scope, distribution, and

recent trends in this important, but overlooked, component of Virginia’s economy and society.

It is important to note, however, that while the data used in this report comprise the most ro-­‐

bust and up-­‐to-­‐date data currently available on Virginia nonprofits, they are not without their

limitations, though our use of the more accurate QCEW data help us to minimize the effects of

CHAPTER II: A MAJOR ECONOMIC PRESENCE

FINDING I: THE PRIVATE NONPROFIT 501(C)(3) SECTOR REMAINS A MAJOR ECONOMIC FORCE IN VIRGINIA. EMPLOYMENT. Virginia’s private, nonprofit organizations en-­‐ gaged nearly 365,200 workers as of the second quarter of 2011, up from the nearly 350,000 workers detailed in our earlier re-­‐ port. This includes 235,113 paid workers and an additional 130,073 full-­‐time equivalent volunteer workers.10

This workforce makes Virginia’s nonprofit sector the third largest industry in the state in terms of employment, behind only retail trade and professional services (see FIGURE 2.1). More specifically, including paid workers and full-­‐time equivalent volunteer work-­‐ ers, Virginia nonprofits employ:

o Nearly thirty-­‐one times as many workers as the state’s agriculture industry. o Nearly twenty times as many workers as the state’s utilities industry. o More than seven times as many workers as the state’s real estate industry. o Nearly five times as many workers as the state’s in-­‐ formation industry. o More than three times as many workers as the state’s wholesale trade and transportation industries. o About three times as many workers as the state’s finance and insurance industry. o Twice as many workers as the state’s construction industry. o More than one and a half times as many workers as the state’s manufacturing industry.

Moreover, the paid workforce of Virginia nonprofits alone represents a significant 6.6 percent of the total Virginia work-­‐ force (or 1 out of every 15 workers) and 8.1 percent of total private employment in the state (or 1 out of every 12 private workers), more than the state’s banking and insurance, informa-­‐ tion, and utilities industries combined.

ginia nonprofit sector has a considerable financial footprint

in the state. In particular, as of 2010, Virginia nonprofits:

o Generated over $39.2 billion in revenues.

o Spent over $37.9 billion, including over $11.4 billion in

wages and compensation.

o Held nearly $78.0 billion in total assets.

Moreover, through the $11.4 billion in wages and compen-­‐

sation that they paid, Virginia’s nonprofits generated approx-­‐

imately $313 million of state income tax revenues and $985

million in federal income taxes.

FINDING II:

THOUGH SIZEABLE, VIRGINIA’S NONPROFIT SECTOR

REMAINS SMALLER THAN ITS COUNTERPARTS

NATIONALLY.

VIRGINIA NONPROFITS IN CONTEXT. At 6.6 percent,

the nonprofit share of total employment in Virginia is slightly

above the averages of several nearby states, including Geor-­‐

gia (5.7 percent) and Florida (6.1 percent). However, expand-­‐

ing one’s focus reveals that the state’s nonprofit sector is

relatively small within both regional and national contexts.

FIGURE 2.2, the nonprofit share of total Thus, as illustrated in

employment in Virginia trails behind the South Atlantic av-­‐

erage of 7.1 percent and is well below the U.S. average of

8.4 percent.

In fact, the size of Virginia’s nonprofit sector would be even

smaller if not for the significant mass of nonprofits clustered

near Washington, D.C. in the northern part of the state. De-­‐

monstrating the importance of this region to the vitality of

the state’s nonprofit sector:

o A third of all Virginia nonprofit employees work for or-­‐

ganizations located in the Northern region.

o Virginia’s overall nonprofit expenditures per capita in

2010 were $4,725, which was slightly below the U.S. av-­‐

erage of $4,856 but significantly higher than the aver-­‐

ages in nearby comparison states. However, in Virginia’s

Northern region they averaged $6,318 per capita—

about 30 percent above the national average. In the

balance of the state, however, nonprofit expenditures

per capita averaged a much lower $3,973—well below

both the U.S. and South Atlantic averages, as shown in

FIGURE 2.3.

As shown FIGURE 2.4, Virginia nonprofit expenditures per $1,000 of gross state product are $93.63—slightly be-­‐ low the South Atlantic average of $94.93, and a full 10 percent below the national average of $104.18. Al-­‐ though Virginia exceeds some of its South Atlantic neighbors on this measure, this again is likely due to Northern Virginia’s above-­‐average performance.

In short, Virginia’s nonprofit sector is a major economic force, representing the third largest employer among the state’s industries, and generating and expending bil-­‐ lions of dollars on an annual basis. However, this sector remains smaller than many of its counterparts across the nation.

DISTRIBUTION OF ORGANIZATIONS BY FIELD.

Nonprofits in Virginia are active in a wide range of fields,

including the arts, education, health, social services, and

FIGURE 3.1: civic life. As illustrated in

o Nearly half of all Virginia's nonprofit organizations fall

into the religious, grantmaking, and civic associations field, making this the largest component of the state’s nonprofit sector when measured in terms of numbers of organizations. This category embraces places of reli-­‐ gious worship, foundations and fundraising organiza-­‐ tions, organizations that advocate for social and politi-­‐

cal causes (e.g., environmental advocacy organiza-­‐

tions), and groups that protect or promote the inter-­‐ ests of their members (e.g., professional associations).

o Sixteen percent of all Virginia's nonprofit organizations

are in the social assistance field, which includes indi-­‐ vidual and family services, community food and hous-­‐ ing, relief services, vocational rehabilitation services, child daycare, and related services.

o Fourteen percent of all Virginia's nonprofit organiza-­‐ tions are in the arts, entertainment, and recreation field, which embraces a variety of groups such as per-­‐ forming arts companies, spectator sports groups, and museums.

o Nine percent of the state’s nonprofit organizations are in the health field, which encompasses ambulatory health care services (5 percent), nursing and residential care facilities (3 percent), and hospitals (1 percent).

o Seven percent of Virginia's nonprofit organizations are

in the education field, which includes elementary and secondary schools (3 percent), higher education insti-­‐ tutions (1 percent), and other educational institutions

(3 percent).

DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES BY FIELD. While the bulk of Virginia’s nonprofit organizations are religious, grantmak-­‐

ing, and civic groups, most of the state’s nonprofit economic activity and resources are concentrated in the health field. Thus:

o Despite representing a mere 9 percent of all nonprofit organizations in the state, health organizations (i.e., hospitals, ambulatory health care services, and nursing and residential care facilities) accounted for half of all Virginia nonprofit jobs and 42 percent of the state’s nonprofit expenditures in 2010.

o Hospitals controlled the bulk of these resources. Though they comprised just 1 percent of all nonprofits in the state, hos-­‐

pitals accounted for 33 percent of the sector’s expenditures and 32 percent of total employment.

o Conversely, despite representing 16 percent of all nonprofit organizations in the state, social assistance nonprofits ac-­‐ counted for just 6 percent of the sector’s expenditures, and 8 percent of its employment.

VIRGINIA NONPROFITS IN CONTEXT. As shown in FIGURE 3.2, the distribution of nonprofit expenditures in Virginia di-­‐

verges significantly from the national pattern:

o Most notably, Virginia’s religious, grantmaking, and civic associations accounted for a significantly higher proportion of expenditures than their counterparts nationwide—25 percent vs. 12 percent. This makes sense, as the state’s proximity to Washington, D.C. makes it an ideal location for advocacy and civic groups, which fall into this category .

o By contrast, Virginia nonprofits operating hospitals and ambulatory health organizations accounted for a significantly

smaller share of total nonprofit expenditures in Virginia than they did nationwide (33 vs. 42 percent, and 5 vs. 11 per-­‐ cent, respectively).

o Similarly, at 8 percent, Virginia nonprofit colleges and universities accounted for a smaller share of total nonprofit ex-­‐ penditures than their counterparts across the nation (12 percent). These figures also make sense since Virginia has more for-­‐profit higher education establishments and hospitals than the national average.

DISTRIBUTION

BY REGION: A STATEWIDE PRESENCE. About three-­‐quarters of the state’s nonprofit

organizations (75 percent) and nonprofit workers (73 percent) are located within the Northern, Hampton

Roads, and Central regions—the same three regions in which the bulk of Virginia’s population resides (see

APPENDIX B for a description of these regions). More specifically, as shown in FIGURE 3.3:

o Northern. A full third of Virginia’s nonprofit employment was located in the state’s Northern region, which contains several of the state’s major urban areas, including Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington, and Alex-­‐ andria. Within this region, 44 percent of nonprofit employment was concentrated in Fairfax County. Si-­‐ zeable proportions of nonprofit workers were also located in Arlington County (16 percent) and Alexan-­‐ dria City (13 percent).

o Hampton Roads. Nearly a quarter (23 percent) of Virginia’s nonprofit employment was located in the

Hampton Roads region, which encompasses Norfolk and Virginia Beach. Within this region, a third of all

nonprofit employees were in Norfolk City. Other areas with significant proportions of nonprofit workers

included Virginia Beach City (19 percent) and Newport News City (14 percent).

o Central. The Central region, which includes Richmond, accounted for 17 percent of the state’s nonprofit

employment. Within this region, 27 percent of all nonprofit employment was located in Richmond City, and its adjacent county, Henrico, accounted for 24 percent.

While nonprofit employment is clustered in these three regions, however, the density of nonprofit employment—the proportion of an area’s total employment that nonprofits represent—was actually higher in other parts of the state. As shown in FIGURE 3.4:

o In the West Central region, nonprofits accounted for 9.1 percent of total em-­‐ ployment, well above the state average of 6.6 percent. Other regions in which nonprofits accounted for above average shares of total employment include the Valley region (9.0 percent), the Hampton Roads region (7.8 percent), and the Eastern region (7.5 percent). o Lexington, home to the nonprofit Washington and Lee University and well-­‐ known for its numerous cultural attractions (many of which are also nonprof-­‐ its) had an especially large nonprofit share of total employment—a striking 47.4 percent. o Other jurisdictions with especially sizeable nonprofit shares of total employ-­‐ ment included Williamsburg City (24.3), Winchester City (22.7 percent), and Norton City (20.2 percent).

DISTRIBUTION

BY SIZE. Virginia nonprofits

also vary by size, although the proportion of large

organization has grown over the past several

years. Thus, as of 2010:

o As shown in FIGURE 3.5, while 68 percent of all Virginia nonprofits had revenues less than $1 million, these organizations accounted for just one percent of all Virginia nonprofit ex-­‐ penditures. By contrast, most Virginia non-­‐ profit expenditures (83 percent) were made by the four percent of Virginia nonprofits with revenues of $50 million or more.

o This distribution became more skewed be-­‐ tween 2005 and 2010. In 2005, 82 percent of Virginia nonprofits had revenues less than $1 million, while just one percent had revenues of $50 million or more. This trend may be re-­‐ lated to the economic downturn, which likely placed greater strains on the state’s smallest nonprofits.

Gaining a clear idea of the revenue base of Virginia’s nonprofits is complicated by quirks in the available data sources, chiefly the 990 form. The 990 form unfortunately merges government grants together with charitable gifts, and combines government contracts and "vouch-­‐ er" payments (such as Medicare and Medicaid) 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.

Despite these limitations, it is still possible to reach several conclusions about the revenue base of Virginia nonprofits.

FEES AND GOVERNMENT: THE DOMINANT SOURCES. Unques-­‐ tionably, the major sources of Virginia nonprofit revenue are govern-­‐ ment and fees for service. More specifically, as of 2010:

o At least 69 percent of Virginia’s nonprofit revenue came from fees, government contracts and reimbursements, memberships, and property income, and this figure does not even include the gov-­‐ ernment support that reaches nonprofits in the form of grants. o By contrast, less than a third of total nonprofit income came from

gifts and grants. As this includes government grants, the share supplied by private charitable support (e.g., private foundations and donations) was likely to be much lower (see FIGURE 4.1). o Behind this average, however, there are significant variations by

field. In particular: x Religious, grantmaking, and civic groups relied most heavily on grants and contributions, which accounted for roughly two-­‐thirds (67 percent) of their total income. x Other fields in which grants and contributions constituted over half of nonprofit income included professional and scien-­‐ tific services (54 percent); arts, entertainment, and recreation (53 percent); and social assistance (51 percent). x By stark contrast, nonprofit hospitals received the vast majori-­‐ ty of their income from government contracts, voucher pay-­‐ ments, and private fees and just 1 percent from grants and contributions.

o It is particularly interesting to note that over the past decade, the portion of Virginia’s nonprofit rev-­‐

enues coming from grants and contributions did not change. However, as shown in FIGURE 4.2, ana-­‐ lyzing the data by field reveals some notable variations that have occurred over time, including:

x Virginia nonprofits in the arts and recreation field grew more heavily reliant on grants and con-­‐ tributions over the past ten years. Thus, while 38 percent of their revenues came from grants and contributions in 2000, in 2010 grants and contributions represented 53 percent of all non-­‐ profit arts and recreation revenues. x By contrast, nonprofit elementary and secondary schools grew less dependent on grants and contributions, which represented 32 percent of their revenues in 2000, but less than 22 percent in 2010. Other fields in which the proportion of total revenues coming from grants and contribu-­‐ tions declined significantly included nursing homes and universities.

RELATIVE GENEROSITY. As Figure 4.2 also shows, Virginia nonprofits received a substantial-­‐ ly higher proportion of their income from grants and contributions in 2010 than did nonprofits nationally (31 vs. 22 percent, respectively). This does not necessarily mean that Virginians are much more generous than their counterparts elsewhere, however. The grants and contribu-­‐ tions share may appear significantly higher simp-­‐ ly because other revenue sources (e.g., govern-­‐ ment contracts and voucher payments) are lower in Virginia than elsewhere.

This premise finds support in data from the In-­‐ ternal Revenue Service for taxpayers who itemize their deductions. These data suggest that Virginia is essentially on a par with the nation in terms of relative generosity. As FIGURE 4.3 shows, as of 2010, for each $1,000 of adjusted gross income, Virginians contributed an average of $21.03 to nonprofit organizations. This puts Virginia just marginally above the U.S. average of $20.21, slightly below the South Atlantic average of $22.88, and considerably below nearby Georgia and North Carolina.

FOUNDATIONS. Nonprofit foundations represent an important part of Virginia’s non-­‐ profit sector. More specifically, as of 2008:

o Virginia boasted 1,842 private foundations, which generated $629 million in revenues, held over $5.85 billion in total assets, and expended over $655 million in so-­‐called "qualifying distributions." o However, when compared to counterparts across the country, it becomes clear that the foundation field in Virginia is relatively quite small. For example, as of 2008 Virgin-­‐ ia foundations expended $84 per capita, which is 61 percent less than the U.S. aver-­‐ age ($212) and 35 percent less the South Atlantic average ($129) (see FIGURE 4.4).

o Similarly, as reflected in FIGURE 4.5, Virginia foundation assets per $1,000 of Gross State Product were $13.60, which is just a third of the U.S. average ($39.60) and roughly half of the South Atlantic average ($25.70).

o Also, pointing to challenges facing the field,

nearly 16 percent of the state’s nonprofit foundations experienced revenue losses— totaling nearly $134 million—between

2007 and 2008. In fact, if not for these los-­‐

es, the foundations field’s total revenues

would be 20 percent greater than the re-­‐ ported $629 million.

In essence, while Virginia nonprofit foundations

control sizeable resources, the field is much less

robust than its counterparts across the nation.

CHAPTER V: A GROWING SECTOR

FINDING V: THOUGH SMALLER THAN ITS COUNTERPARTS NATIONALLY, VIRGINIA’S NONPROFIT SECTOR EXPERIENCED PHENOMENAL GROWTH OVER THE PAST 11 YEARS, WITH BOTH ITS EXPENDITURES AND EMPLOYMENT EXPANDING AT A RATE THAT EXCEEDS THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.

OVERALL GROWTH IN EXPENDITURES. After adjusting for inflation, Virginia nonprofit expenditures grew by 68 percent between 2000 and 2010. By contrast, U.S. nonprof-­‐ it expenditures grew by 50 percent over this 10-­‐year pe-­‐ riod, and the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) grew by just 17 percent—merely a quarter of Virginia’s nonprofit expenditure growth.

As shown in FIGURE 5.1, the state’s nonprofit expenditures also grew significantly faster than nonprofit expenditures in all three comparison states and the South Atlantic region.

VARIATIONS IN EXPENDITURE GROWTH BY FIELD.

As illustrated in FIGURE 5.2, nonprofits operating in all fields had growing expenditures between 2000 and 2010. More-­‐ over, in almost all fields, the growth in Virginia’s nonprofit expenditures exceeded the national average. In particular, over this ten-­‐year period:

o Growth was most rapid among Virginia’s nonprofit col-­‐ leges and universities, which boosted their expendi-­‐ tures by a striking 142 percent after adjusting for infla-­‐ tion. o Other types of Virginia nonprofits reporting above-­‐

average growth in expenditures included religious, grantmaking, and civic associations (96 percent) and social assistance groups (71 percent). o By contrast, Virginia nonprofit arts and recreation

groups (31 percent), elementary and secondary schools (38 percent), professional service organizations (39 percent), and nursing homes (49 percent) recorded well below average growth in expenditures.

16 | Nonprofit Economic Data Bulletin #41 | Virginia's nonprofit sector: SHAPING THE ECONOMIC, CULTURAL, AND SOCIAL LANDSCAPE

the strong growth in Virginia nonprofit expenditures

was the persistent dynamism of the nonprofit labor

FIGURE 5.3. In particular: market, as shown in

o Between 2000 and 2011, the nonprofit workforce

achieved an average annual growth rate of 2.0 per-­‐

cent, netting 45,792 new jobs. By contrast, the for-­‐

profit workforce grew by a marginal .05 percent.

o Despite two recessions, nonprofit employment

grew every year but one between 2000 and 2011,

while for-­‐profit employment experienced both ups

and downs.

o Nonprofit employment growth also outdistanced

the public sector’s employment growth.

VARIATIONS IN EMPLOYMENT GROWTH BY REGION.

This overall record of nonprofit job growth was also evi-­‐ dent in most regions. In fact, in all regions but one, the

nonprofit workforce expanded between 2000 and 2011.

Moreover, in six of the eight regions analyzed, the non-­‐

profit sector grew, on average, faster than the for-­‐profit

FIGURE 5.4, between sector. More specifically, as shown in

2000 and 2011:

o Nonprofit job growth was particularly robust in the

Eastern region, where it grew by an average annual

rate of 6.2 percent. Eastern for-­‐profits grew even

faster, with an average annual growth rate of 9.5 per-­‐

cent over this same period, reflecting the Eastern re-­‐

gion’s overall dynamic economic growth.

o Average annual nonprofit job growth not only ex-­‐

ceeded the state average in the Central, Valley, and

Northern regions, but also well surpassed the for-­‐

profit sector’s annual average growth rates in these

areas.

o While the nonprofit sector experienced below aver-­‐

age annual growth in the West Central, Hamp ton

Roads, and Southwest regions, it outperformed

these areas’ for-­‐ profit sector, which experienced

net job losses between 2000 and 2011.

o The one region in which nonprofits lost jobs was the

Southside region, with an average annual growth rate

of -­‐1.9 percent. Suggesting that this area’s economy

has been experiencing significant strain, Southside

for-­‐profits also experienced net job losses over this

11-­‐year period.

VARIATIONS IN EMPLOYMENT GROWTH BY FIELD. This overall record of significant nonprofit job growth was also evident in all fields, although some fields expe-­‐ rienced more dynamic growth than others. As shown in FIGURE 5.5, between 2000 and 2011:

o Nonprofit ambulatory health organizations expe-­‐ rienced the most impressive employment growth, adding 8,547 employees over this 11-­‐year period— an annual average growth rate of 5.7 percent. o Other fields that experienced well-­‐above average

nonprofit job growth include religious, grantmaking, and civic associations (2.9 percent); professional and scientific services (2.7 percent); and education (2.5 percent). o While the hospital field experienced a below-­‐

average rate of job growth, private nonprofit hospit-­‐ als still netted over 8,550 new jobs between 2000 and 2011.

GROWING FOR-PROFIT COMPETITION AND LOSS OF NONPROFIT MARKET SHARE. Although nonprofit em-­‐ ployment increased in most fields, another important trend was simultaneously at work—for-­‐profit employ-­‐ ment in these fields was also increasing, and in most cases, much faster than nonprofit employment. As shown in FIGURE 5.6, between 2000 and 2011:

o For-­‐profit employment in the social assistance field achieved an average annual growth rate of 8.4 per-­‐ cent, which was nearly 8 times the nonprofit sector’s annual average growth rate of 1.1 percent. o Similarly, in most of the other principal fields of

nonprofit activity—education, hospitals, nursing homes, and arts and recreation—for-­‐profit employ-­‐ ment experienced more robust growth than non-­‐ profit employment. o There were just two exceptions to this trend: the av-­‐

erage annual growth rate of nonprofit employment was nearly 30 times the annual rate of for-­‐profit employment in the religious, grantmaking, and civic association field (2.9 percent vs. .1 percent) and roughly double the average annual rate of for-­‐profit employment in the ambulatory health field (5.7 per-­‐ cent vs. 3.4 percent, respectively).

ket share in key fields. Most notably, as shown in FIGURE 5.7, between 2000 and 2011 the nonprofit share of total employment decreased from:

x 48 to 30 percent in social assistance

x 91 to 77 percent among universities

x 80 to 75 percent among hospitals

x 38 to 35 percent among nursing homes

o Interestingly, though, because for-­‐profits operating in fields outside of the service sector fared relatively poorly (e.g., for-­‐profits lost nearly 132,000 manufacturing jobs between 2000 and 2011), the nonprofit share of private sector jobs actually increased from 6.7 percent to 8.2 percent over this 11-­‐year period.

These developments suggest an increasingly competitive environment for Virginia’s nonprofit organizations. They also underline the challenges nonprofits face in generating capital for expan-­‐

sion in times of rapid growth, a factor that often makes it hard for nonprofits to compete on a

level playing field with for-­‐profit entities. Another key explanation for this phenomenon may be

the preference on the part of state and local governments—which have increasingly been out-­‐

sourcing traditional government functions to private entities, particularly in the area of social

ers.11 assistance—to work with for-­‐profit provid

NONPROFIT EMPLOYMENT GROWTH DURING THE RECENT ECONOMIC DOWNTURN. As noted above, Virginia nonprofit employment grew over the past decade, achieving an average annual growth rate of 2.0 percent. In light of the deep national recession that afflicted the nation between 2007 and 2009, it is also critical to analyze how nonprofit employment fared over the past four years.

Focusing the analysis on the recessionary period and beyond, it becomes clear than Virginia’s nonprofit sector has been under considerable strain in recent years. As shown in FIGURE 5.8:

o Somewhat surprisingly, the data reveal that nonprofit employment actually grew by 3.3 percent during the first year of the recession, and 1.4 percent during the second year of the recession, for an average annual increase of 2.4 percent. By contrast, Virginia’s for-­‐profit sector lost nearly 137,500 jobs over this two-­‐year period. o Following the recession, nonprofit employment experienced no growth between 2009 and 2010, and just marginal growth (0.6 percent) between 2010 and 2011, yielding an average annual in-­‐ crease of 0.3 percent. While for-­‐profits continued to lose jobs between 2009 and 2010, they re-­‐ bounded between 2010 and 2011, growing nearly twice as fast as nonprofits (1.1 percent vs. 0.6 percent).

These trends suggest that it took longer for the national recession to take a toll on the state’s nonprof-­‐ its. This is likely due, in part, to the national 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which di-­‐ rected new revenues to nonprofits in Virginia and other states, and thus shielded nonprofits and those they serve from the full impact of the recession. However, Virginia for-­‐profits seem to be on a quicker path to recovery than nonprofit establishments.

TRENDS

BY FIELD. An analysis of the data over this narrower time frame also reveals that

nonprofit job growth was not restricted to a few fields, but rather, was evident in most principal

fields of nonprofit activity during both the recessionary and recovery periods.

During the 2007–2009 recessionary period, nonprofits operating in eight of the nine fields ana-­‐

FIGURE 5.9: lyzed experienced job growth. In particular, as illustrated in

o Nonprofit ambulatory health organizations experienced the most significant growth, with a 9.6 percent annual average increase in employment over this two-­‐year period.

o Other fields that experienced above average growth in nonprofit employment during the

recessionary period included professional and scientific services (4.4 percent) and reli-­‐

gious, grantmaking and civic associations (2.7 percent).

o While elementary and secondary schools, social assistance groups, hospitals, higher edu-­‐ cation institutions, and nursing and residential care facilities all achieved average annual growth rates that were below the state average, they still added workers during this pe-­‐ riod of great economic strain. o The only field that lost workers during the recessionary period was arts, entertainment,

Similarly, during the 2009–2011 post-­‐recessionary period, the majority of fields analyzed

continued adding jobs. Thus, as shown in FIGURE 5.10:

o Ambulatory health organizations experienced the most significant growth, with a 2.9

percent annual average increase in employment over this two-­‐year period.

o Other fields experiencing above average growth during this period include elemen-­‐

tary and secondary education (2.8 percent), higher education (1.8 percent), social

assistance (1.5 percent), and professional and scientific services (1.1 percent).

o By contrast, nonprofits operating in the arts, entertainment, and recreation, nursing

and residential care, and hospital fields all lost workers over this two-­‐year period.

It is also important to note that in the majority of nonprofit fields, the average annual rate

of employment growth was slower in the post-­‐recessionary period than in the recessionary

period, which could reflect the exhaustion of the additional resources pumped into the

sector through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Thus, for example:

o Between 2009 and 2011, the average annual growth rate among nonprofit profes-­‐

sional service organizations was just a quarter of its 2007-­‐09 level (1.1 percent vs.

4.4 percent, respectively), and the average annual growth rate in the ambulatory

health field was just a third of its 2007-­‐09 level (2.9 percent vs. 9.6 percent).

o By contrast, nonprofits operating in the social assistance, elementary and secondary

education, and arts, entertainment, and recreation fields fared better between 2009

and 2011 than they did during the recessionary years.

Moreover, two interesting trends emerge when comparing data

from 2011 to data from 2005:

11 percent more than the average nonprofit workers’ $724

weekly earnings.

o Nonprofit wages are increasing at a faster rate than other sec-­‐ tors. Thus, between 2005 and 2011, the average nonprofit weekly wage increased by 25 percent. By contrast, for-­‐profit wages increased by 19 percent, state government wages by 16 percent, and local government wages by just 10 percent over this same period.

VARIATIONS AMONG FIELDS. These averages, however, obscure some significant variations in the average wages of nonprofit workers in differ-­‐ ent fields. Thus, as shown in FIGURE 6.2:

o Average nonprofit weekly wages range from a low of $503 in the social assistance field to a high of $1,771 in the professional and scientific services field. o Other fields in which nonprofit average

weekly wages are especially low include arts and recreation, nursing and residential care, and elementary and secondary education.

NONPROFIT WAGES EXCEED FOR-PROFIT WAGES IN COMMON FIELDS. While overall nonprofit weekly wages remain lower than over-­‐ all for-­‐profit weekly wages, a different picture emerges when attention focuses on just the fields in which nonprofits and for-­‐profits are both actively involved: in these fields, nonprofit wage levels often exceed for-­‐profit ones. This suggests that the real reason overall nonprofit weekly wages trail for-­‐profits ones is not that nonprofits pay lower wages but rather that nonprofits are concentrated in low-­‐wage fields. In fact, as Figure 6.2 illustrates, within those fields nonprofits of-­‐ ten pay better wages than their for-­‐profit coun-­‐ terparts. Thus, for example:

o In the social assistance field, nonprofit work-­‐ ers earn a striking 22 percent more, on aver-­‐ age, than their for-­‐profit counterparts. o Nonprofit arts, entertainment, and

recreation workers earn 19 percent more than their counterparts in for-­‐profit facilities. o Similarly, in the ambulatory health services

field, nonprofit salaries average 9 percent more than for-­‐profit ones.

conclusion The data presented in this report reaffirm a key conclusion from our 2008 analysis—Virginia’s nonprofit sec-­‐ tor is a powerful economic engine. As highlighted in this report, Virginia’s nonprofits now engage nearly 365,200 workers and have revenues in excess of $39.2 billion. On top of that, this recent analysis demon-­‐ strates that Virginian nonprofits are very resilient employers: while the for-­‐profit sector experienced signifi-­‐ cant job losses during the recent economic downturn, nonprofits continued to create new jobs.

However, this report also underscores another important finding that emerged from the earlier analysis— Virginia’s nonprofit sector has even greater potential. Virginia’s nonprofit organizations are not only behind the nation along several key dimensions, but also have been losing ground to for-­‐profits in the state, most notably in recent years. The result has been a steady loss of nonprofit market share even as the overall scale of nonprofit employment has increased.

Lastly, it is important to recognize that Virginia’s nonprofit sector is a bifurcated one. As stressed in both the 2008 and recent reports, there are significant differences between the scope and scale of nonprofit activity in the Northern Region and in the balance of the state. Thus, without the substantial economic contributions of Northern Virginia’s nonprofits, the state’s nonprofit sector would likely fall even further behind its coun-­‐ terparts across the nation.

In our 2008 report, we concluded that strengthening the capacity of the state’s nonprofit sector should be an urgent state priority in light of the challenges facing Virginian nonprofits and suggested four tangible steps to do so. This conclusion applies with even greater vigor today. As highlighted above, Virginia’s nonprofits are not only experiencing many of the same challenges they faced in 2008, but are also confronting new ones as a result of the recent financial crisis and growing competition from for-­‐profit providers. As such, it is more important than ever to accomplish the following:

1. IMPROVE THE SECTOR’S VISIBILITY AND CREDIBILITY. A first step toward strengthening the Virginia nonprofit sector is to improve the sector’s visibility and credibil-­‐ ity. Too often, what is not counted is assumed not to count, and Virginia 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 atten-­‐ tion they deserve. But this will only occur if the findings are actively disseminated and if regular updates are carried out. Since our last report, there has been a boom in the use of social media, which now makes dis-­‐ semination much easier and cost-­‐effective. Nonprofit stakeholders need to think creatively about how they can use these technologies to their advantage.

On top of the quantitative data featured here, Virginia’s nonprofits also need to consider how they can better highlight and articulate their "value proposition," i.e., the specific qualities that make nonprofit organizations unique and distinguish them from other sectors. Although recent research conducted by our Center has af-­‐ firmed that there are seven attributes (caring, effective, empowering, enriching, productive, reliable, and responsive) that are at the core of the nonprofit sector’s special identity, it has also demonstrated that many key players including government officials, the general public, and the media do not understand the nonprof-­‐ it sector’s unique qualities. As such, sector stakeholders also need to devote time and energy to raising awareness about the sector’s value proposition. Again, new technologies such as social media could play an important role in education and dissemination campaigns.

2. BOOST GIVING AND THE STATE’S FOUNDATION FIELD. A second important step toward strengthening Virginia’s nonprofit sector will require boosting the sector’s sources of support. As this report and the previous one have shown, the overall scale of the nonprofit sector in Virginia is not yet on a par with that of the nation at large. One reason for this appears to be that the state’s foundation field commands significantly less resources than its counterparts both nationwide and in the South Atlantic region. A concerted effort to promote the creation of endowed foundations and boost the resources of the state’s very promising community foundations would therefore seem in order.

3. STRENGTHEN COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION WITH GOVERNMENT. Important as it is, increased giving cannot by itself bring Virginia nonprofits to the level of nonprofits else-­‐ where in terms of the scale of their operations. For nonprofit expenditures per $1,000 of gross state product in Virginia to reach parity with national averages, $4.3 billion of additional revenue would be needed. To fill that gap, charitable giving in Virginia would need to be increased by about 50 percent, an unlikely proposi-­‐ tion since philanthropic contributions in Virginia are already above the national level.

What this suggests is the need to strengthen the partnership between nonprofit organizations and govern-­‐ ment in Virginia. The single biggest determinant of the scale of nonprofit activity around the country is the extent to which government is supportive of it. That Virginia 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 Virginia nonprofits and their counterparts in other parts of the country will there-­‐ fore depend heavily on the willingness of state government to lend a bigger helping hand.

Clearly, the recent economic downturn will make carrying out this recommendation more difficult than in the past. This underscores the importance of mounting a serious campaign to educate government officials as well as the public and other stakeholders about the sector’s value proposition (as described above). Until key players understand the economic contributions of the sector, its significant job creation potential, and its special qualities and attributes, they will have little incentive to devote additional resources to nonprofits.

4. BUILD NONPROFIT CAPACITY. Finally, given the enormous stake that Virginia has in the health and viability of its nonprofit sector and in the effectiveness and efficiency with which it carries out its functions, it is critical to boost the capacity of the state’s nonprofits, particularly in the regions not close to Washington, D.C. One important tool to achieve this is to increase the resources available to the state’s nonprofits through general operating-­‐support grants. Re-­‐ cruiting 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 also become urgent components of any meaningful program of sector streng-­‐ thening and improvement. Moreover, it is critical to address the significantly unequal playing field on which nonprofits are forced to compete in many fields due to their lack of access to equity funding, the limits on their ability to lobby for policy features that protect the nonprofit share of government contract business, and their generally more favorable benefit packages that allow competitors to under-­‐cut their costs.

In our 2008 report, we urged state leaders to take action to strengthen Virginia’s nonprofit sector. It is un-­‐ clear that this message penetrated—in fact, in many respects, Virginian nonprofits are worse off than they were five years ago. Virginia’s nonprofit sector has many strengths. It is now more critical than ever for Vir-­‐ ginians to build on these strengths to help ensure the state’s nonprofits can be as strong and as effective as possible into the future.

OVERVIEW

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 501c(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 organi-­‐

zations exempt from income tax under section 501c(3) pro-­‐

duced by the National Center for Charitable 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 pro-­‐ duced 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 2011 September Supplement to the Cur-­‐

rent Population Survey, administered by the Bureau of Labor

Statistics, and available 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 Individual Income and Tax Data tables produced by the

Internal Revenue Service and available online for public use.

The report also relies on the regional breakdowns detailed in

1. QUARTERLY CENSUS OF EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES (QCEW)

The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) is an administrative data set collected by states as a part of the

federal Unemployment Insurance (UI) program. QCEW is managed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which made it available

to the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) research team under a special research agreement. Since access to individual state da-­‐

ta is regulated by state laws, JHU obtained access to micro-­‐data from 43 states, including Virginia, and the District of Colum-­‐

bia.

QCEW draws on the quarterly surveys of workplaces that state employment security offices have conducted since the 1930s

and 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 employment with one or more employees. However, Virginia has not extended the coverage beyond the

federal mandate.

The principal exclusions from the QCEW data set are employees of religious organizations, railroad workers, small-­‐scale agri-­‐

culture workers, domestic service workers, crew members on small vessels, state and local government elected officials, and

insurance and real estate agents who receive payment solely by commission. In terms of nonprofit employment, the exclu-­‐

sion of religious organizations as well as entities with less than four employees is the most significant; however, religious or-­‐

ganizations 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 3 percent of total employment in the nonprofit sector in Virginia.13

While nonprofit places of employment have long been covered by the QCEW surveys, the data generated by these surveys

have never broken out the nonprofit employment separate from the for-­‐profit employment. As a consequence, the nonprofit

sector has essentially been buried in the data. The JHU Center for Civil Society Studies has developed a methodology of iden-­‐

tifying nonprofit employers in the QCEW micro-­‐data by record matching with the publicly available register of tax exempt

entities maintained by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The nonprofit micro-­‐data were subsequently aggregated by state,

county, and fields of activities to meet the BLS disclosure rules, mandated by law to protect the confidentiality of company-­‐

specific information. For this project, the disclosure rule was set at less than 10 entities in the aggregate nonprofit subset, or

the nonprofit subset representing more than 75 percent of total employment in a given class. These disclosure limits had no

effect on state-­‐level aggregates or two-­‐digit NAICS industries at the state level, however some lower level aggregates, such as

smaller counties, or three or four digit NAICS levels in smaller states were suppressed. The nonprofit aggregates were

matched with aggregate economy-­‐wide employment data published online by the BLS.

The result is the most accurate and up-­‐to-­‐date picture of U.S. nonprofit employment yet available, and a pathway to generat-­‐

ing such data on a regular basis into the future. This is so because the QCEW data have a number of critical advantages over

other data sources as a window into nonprofit employment trends. In particular, these data:

x Are collected every quarter;

x Are available within six to eight months of their collection, unlike Economic Census data, which typically re-­‐

quire two to three years to process;

x Are closely monitored and verified for accuracy by the Labor Market Information offices of state Employ-­‐

ment Security agencies and the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics;

x Are collected at the establishment level rather than the organization level, which is important to avoid dis-­‐

tortions otherwise caused by the existence of multipurpose and multi-­‐location organizations;

x Cover employment and wages, which is especially relevant for gauging the operations of labor-­‐intensive

entities such as nonprofits;

x Are comprehensive, covering about 98 percent of all nonprofit employment; and

x Cover for-­‐profit and government places of employment in the same data system, which facilitates systemat-­‐

ic comparisons among the sectors, a matter of increasing importance.

28 | Nonprofit Economic Data Bulletin #41 | Virginia's nonprofit sector: SHAPING THE ECONOMIC, CULTURAL, AND SOCIAL LANDSCAPE

For the purpose of this report, we focus on the “charitable” portion of the nonprofit sector because this is the portion

that most people have in mind when they think about the nonprofit sector. This includes all 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, day care centers, orchestras,

museums, theaters, environmental organizations, homeless shelters, soup kitchens and many more.

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 Inter-­‐

nal Revenue Service (IRS). The 990 database includes 10,837 nonprofit organizations located in Virginia in 2010.

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 Ex-­‐

empt Entities (NTEE), a hierarchical classification system that categorizes organizations according to their stated organiza-­‐

tional purpose. This creates a problem in matching the Form 990 data with the QCEW, which uses the North American

Industrial Classification System (NAICS). Since NAICS allows comparisons of nonprofit entities to their for-­‐profit counter-­‐

parts 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 oppor-­‐

tunity 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 ex-­‐

ample, 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 compensation of top officers and that of other employees), contribu-­‐

tions (from government and households), program service revenues, total revenues, assets and liabilities at the beginning

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 2010 dollars using the chain-­‐type price index for personal consumption expenditures in the

service sector, 2000-­‐2010, available online from the Bureau of Economic Analyses (www.bea.gov) Table 2.3.4.

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), de-­‐

rived from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Exempt Organizations 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 con-­‐

tain 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 at nccsdataweb.urban.org/kbfiles/468/NCCS-­‐ data-­‐guide-­‐2006c.pdf.

We collected the following variables for private foundations: number of organizations, total revenue, contribu-­‐

tions/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 Bureau of Economic Analyses (www.bea.gov) Table 2.3.4.

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 households 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 popula-­‐

tion 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 Statis-­‐

tics, Volunteering in the United States, 2010 Technical Note, available at 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 al-­‐

lowed us to estimate volunteering rates and the full-­‐time equivalent (FTE) of volunteer input.14

OVERVIEW

o The Central Region encompasses Richmond, which is

one of the state’s largest cities.

o The region accounts for 21 percent of the state’s non-­‐

profit organizations. In 2010, major nonprofits based

in the region included several health-­‐ focused organiza-­‐

tions—St. Mary’s Hospital of Richmond, University of

Virginia Physicians Group, Bon Secours Memorial Re-­‐

gional Medical Center, and Martha Jefferson Hospit-­‐

al—as well as the civic group, Childfund International TABLE B1.1).

USA (

REGIONAL SNAPSHOT: NONPROFIT EMPLOYMENT

o With 41,073 nonprofit employees, the region accounted for 17.5

percent of Virginia’s nonprofit employment in 2011, which is noti-­‐

ceably below the region’s share of the state’s total population (17.5

percent vs. 20.5 percent, respectively) (TABLE B1.2).

o Similarly, nonprofit employment in the Central Region accounted for just 5.8 percent

of the region’s total employment, which is less than the state average of 6.6 percent.

o Between 2000 and 2011, Central Region nonprofits achieved an annual average growth rate of 3.6 percent. This is not only well

above the state average of 2.0 percent, but also 9 times the annual average rate of the region’s for-­‐profit sector (.4 percent).

REGIONAL SNAPSHOT: NONPROFIT FINANCES

o Central Region nonprofits generated over $5.4 billion in revenues (13.9 percent of the state’s total nonprofit revenues) and

held nearly $17.0 billion in assets (21.8 percent of the state’s total nonprofit assets) in 2010 (TABLE B1.3).

o Over a third (34 percent) of these revenues were generated by the Central Region’s hospitals. Religious, grantmaking and civic

associations (22 percent) and ambulatory health organizations (17 percent) also played a key role in the region’s economy.

o Well over half (57 percent) of these assets were held by just one field—religious, grantmaking and civic associations ( TABLE B1.4).

o Central nonprofits expended nearly $5.8 billion (15.2 percent of the state’s total nonprofit expenditures) in 2010. This trans-­‐

lates into $3,510 of expenditures per capita, which falls 26 percent below the state average of $4,725.

* Given the inherent problems with the IRS Form 990 data source, the financial data presented in this section should be interpreted with caution. The Form 990 filings are organized according to the year in which they are received, not by the year covered. This is because organizations have different fiscal y ears and also because many file late or have extensions. As a consequence, while most organizations included in the electronic 2010 990 file have fiscal y ears that end in 2010, the file also contains records for organizations with fiscal years that end in 2008 and 2009.

Another potential problem arises from reporting on the organization rather than establishment level. As a consequence, all resources of multi-­‐

establishment organizations are reported for the geographical region where the headquarters is located.

B2: EASTERN REGION

OVERVIEW

o As a predominately rural area, the Eastern

Region does not include any of the state’s

largest urban centers.

o The region accounts for just two percent of

the state’s nonprofit organizations. In 2010,

the largest nonprofits in the region included

four health-­‐ focused organizations— Chesapeake Hospital, Rappahannock West-­‐

minster Canterbury, Eastern Shore Rural

Health System, and Shore Life Care—and the

TABLE B2.1). social service provider, Bay Aging (

REGIONAL SNAPSHOT: NONPROFIT EMPLOYMENT

o With 3,639 nonprofit employees, the region accounted for just 1.5 percent of Virginia’s non-­‐

profit employment in 2011. This is marginally below the region’s share of the state popula-­‐

tion (1.5 percent vs. 1.8 percent, respectively) (TABLE B2.2).

o However, nonprofit employment in the Eastern Region accounted for 7.5 percent of the re-­‐

gion’s total employment, ranking it above the state average of 6.6 percent.

o Between 2000 and 2011, nonprofit employment grew faster in the Eastern Region than in

any other region of the state. Although Eastern nonprofits’ average annual rate of employ-­‐

ment growth was more than three times the state average (6.2 vs. 2.0 percent, respective-­‐

ly), it dwarfed the region’s for-­‐ profit annual average growth rate of 9.5 percent.

REGIONAL SNAPSHOT: NONPROFIT FINANCES

o Eastern Region nonprofits generated nearly $158.9 million in revenues (less than one per-­‐

cent of the state’s total nonprofit revenues) and held over $342.3 million in assets (less than

one percent of the state’s total nonprofit assets) in 2010 (TABLE B2.3).

o Roughly a fourth (24 percent) of these revenues were generated by the region’s hospitals.

Other fields generating a significant portion of the region’s total revenues include nursing

and residential care (19 percent), social assistance (19 percent), and ambulatory health (16

percent).

o The bulk of the region’s assets, however, were held by its religious, grantmaking, and civic

associations (24 percent). Other fields holding substantial shares of the region’s total assets

include social assistance (17 percent); arts, entertainment and recreation (16 percent); and

nursing and residential care (15 percent) (TABLE B2.4).

o Eastern nonprofits expended nearly $150.6 million (less than one percent of the state’s total

nonprofit expenditures) in 2010. This translates into $1,061 of expenditures per capita,

which falls 78 percent below the state average.

B3: NORTHERN REGION

OVERVIEW

o The Northern Region encompasses two of

Virginia’s largest urbanized areas—

Arlington and Alexandria.

o With 39 percent of the state’s nonprofit

organization, this region is home to the

largest number of nonprofits in Virginia. In

2010, major nonprofits based in the region

included Inova Health Care Services,

George Washington University, Nature

Conservatory, International Relief and De-­‐

velopment, and Mary Washington Health-­‐

care (TABLE B3.1).

REGIONAL SNAPSHOT: NONPROFIT EMPLOYMENT

o With 77,416 nonprofit employees, the region accounted for a third of Vir-­‐

ginia’s nonprofit employment in 2011, which is roughly equivalent to the

region’s share of the state’s total population (32.9 percent vs. 32.5 per-­‐

TABLE B3.2). cent) (

o However, nonprofit employment in the Northern Region accounted for 6.2

percent of the region’s total employment, which is marginally below the

state average of 6.6 percent.

o Between 2000 and 2011, Northern Region nonprofits achieved an average

annual growth rate of 2.3 percent. While this is roughly equivalent to the

state average (2.0 percent), it is more than double the region’s 1.0 percent

annual average growth in for-­‐profit employment.

REGIONAL SNAPSHOT: NONPROFIT FINANCES

o Northern Region nonprofits generated nearly $17.1 billion in revenues (43.6 percent of the

state’s total nonprofit revenues, which is the largest share by far among all 8 Virginian regions)

and held nearly $31.9 billion in assets (40.9 percent of the state’s total nonprofit assets, which

TABLE B3.3). again is the largest share by far among these Virginian regions) in 2010 (

o Well over a third (37 percent) of these revenues were generated by the Northern Region’s reli-­‐

gious, grantmaking, and civic associations. Hospitals also played a key role in the region’s

economy by generating a fifth (20 percent) of its total revenues.

o The bulk (50 percent) of the region’s assets were also held by its religious, grantmaking, and

civic associations (34 percent) and hospitals (16 percent) ( TABLE B3.4).

o Northern nonprofits expended nearly $16.3 billion (42.9 percent of the state’s total nonprofit

expenditures) in 2010. This translates into $6,318 of expenditures per capita, which is 34 per-­‐

cent more than the state average and the highest expenditures per capita among all 8 of Vir-­‐

ginia’s regions.

B4: SOUTHSIDE REGION

OVERVIEW

o The Southside Region encompasses three of Virginia’s smaller cities—Danville, Emporia, and Martinsville.

o The region accounts for just four percent of the state’s nonprofit organizations. In 2010, major nonprofits based in the region included three hospitals—Community Memorial Healthcenter, Halifax Regional Hos-­‐ pital, and Southside Community Hospital—and two schools, Hampden-­‐Sydney College and Averett Uni-­‐ versity (TABLE B4.1).

REGIONAL SNAPSHOT: NONPROFIT EMPLOYMENT o With 7,131 nonprofit employees, the region accounted for just 3.0 percent of Virginia’s nonprofit em-­‐ ployment in 2011. This proportion is below the region’s share of the state’s total population (3.0 percent vs. 4.7 percent) (TABLE B4.2).

o Similarly, nonprofit employment in the Southside Region accounted for 5.8 percent of the region’s total employment, which is slightly below the state average of 6.6 percent.

Between 2000 and 2011, the Southside Region suffered the most significant nonprofit and for-­‐profit job o losses in the state (with annual average growth rates of -­‐1.9 percent and -­‐1.7 percent, respectively).

REGIONAL SNAPSHOT: NONPROFIT FINANCES

o Southside Region nonprofits generated nearly $669.2 million in revenues (1.7 percent of the state’s total

nonprofit revenues) and held over $1.3 billion in assets (1.7 percent of the state’s total nonprofit assets)

in 2010 (TABLE B4.3).

o Over a third (35 percent) of these revenues were generated by hospitals. Colleges and universities also played a key role in the region’s economy by generating nearly a fifth (19 percent) of its total revenues.

o Nearly three-­‐fourths (72 percent) of the region’s assets were held by three fields—religious, grantmaking, and civic associations (27 percent); colleges and universities (27 percent); and hospitals (18 percent)

(TABLE B4.4).

o Southside nonprofits expended over $642.1 million (1.7 percent of the state’s total nonprofit expendi-­‐ tures) in 2010. This translates into $1,687 of expenditures per capita, which falls 64 percent below the state average.

B7: VALLEY REGION

OVERVIEW

o The Valley Region encompasses several of Virginia’s smaller cities— Buena Vista, Covington, Harrisonburg, Lexington, Staunton, Waynes-­‐ boro, and Winchester.

The region accounts for six percent of the state’s nonprofit o

organizations. In 2010, major nonprofits based in the region included several hospitals—Valley Health System, Rocking-­‐ ham Memorial Hospital, and Augusta Health Care—as well as Washington & Lee University and the professional associ-­‐ ation, the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (TABLE B7.1).

REGIONAL SNAPSHOT: NONPROFIT EMPLOYMENT

o With 17,024 nonprofit employees, the region accounted for 7.2 percent of Virginia’s nonprofit employment in 2011. This proportion is well above the region’s share of the state’s to-­‐

tal population (7.2 percent vs. 6.0 percent) (TABLE B7.2).

o Similarly, nonprofit employment in the Valley Region ac-­‐ counted for 9.0 percent of the region’s total employment, which is well above the state average of 6.6 percent.

o Between 2000 and 2011, Valley Region nonprofits achieved an annual average growth rate of 3.5 per-­‐ cent, exceeding the state average of 2.0 percent.

Valley Region nonprofits also well outperformed the region’s for-­‐profits (3.5 percent vs. -­‐0.5 percent, respectively), which suffered net jobs loses over this 11-­‐year period.

REGIONAL SNAPSHOT: NONPROFIT FINANCES

o Valley Region nonprofits generated nearly $2.7 billion in revenues (6.8 percent of the state’s total nonprofit revenues) and held $6.6 billion in assets (8.5 percent of the state’s total nonprofit assets) in 2010 (TABLE B7.3).

o Nearly two-­‐thirds (64 percent) of the region’s total revenues were generated by

hospitals. Nonprofit higher education institutions also played a key economic role,

generating 15 percent of the total.

o Similarly, the bulk (44 percent) of the region’s total assets were held by hospitals.

Other fields holding substantial shares of the region’s total assets include colleges and universities (28 percent) and religious, grantmaking, and civic associations (14 percent) (TABLE B7.4).

o Valley nonprofits expended over $2.5 billion (6.6 percent of the state’s total non-­‐

profit expenditures) in 2010. This translates into $5,234 of expenditures per capita,

which is 11 percent more than the state average.

B8: WEST CENTRAL REGION

OVERVIEW

o The West Central Region encompasses Roanoke, one of Virginia’s largest cities. o The region accounts for nine

percent of the state’s non-­‐ profit organizations. In 2010, major nonprofits based in the region include Carilion Medical Center, Centra Health, Liberty University, World Help, and Virginia Tech Foundation (TABLE B8.1).

REGIONAL SNAPSHOT:

NONPROFIT EMPLOYMENT

o With 26,027 nonprofit employees,

the region accounted for 11.1 per-­‐

cent of Virginia’s nonprofit employ-­‐

ment in 2011, which is markedly

above the region’s share of the state’s total population

(11.1 percent vs. 9.0 percent) (TABLE B8.2).

o Similarly, nonprofit employment in the West Central Region accounted for 9.1 percent of the region’s total employment, which is well above the state average of 6.6 percent.

o Between 2000 and 2011, West Central nonprofits achieved an annual average growth rate

of 1.9 percent. While this is roughly equivalent to the statewide average of 2.0 percent,

West Central nonprofits well outperformed the region’s for-­‐profits (1.9 percent vs. -­‐0.9

percent, respectively), which suffered net jobs loses over this 11-­‐year period.

REGIONAL SNAPSHOT: NONPROFIT FINANCES o West Central Region nonprofits generated over $3.9 billion in revenues (10.0 percent of the state’s total nonprofit revenues) and held nearly $6.9 billion in assets (8.8 percent of the state’s total nonprofit assets) in 2010 (TABLE B8.3).

o Nearly half (49 percent) of the region’s total revenues were generated by hospitals. Non-­‐

profit higher education institutions and religious, grantmaking, and civic associations also

played a significant economic role, generating 22 and 13 percents, respectively, of the to-­‐

tal.

o The vast majority (82 percent) of the region’s total assets were also held by these three fields, i.e., hospitals (35 percent), religious, grantmaking and civic associations (24 per-­‐ cent), and higher education (23 percent) (TABLE B8.4).

o West Central nonprofits expended over $3.6 billion (9.6 percent of the state’s total non-­‐

profit expenditures) in 2010. This translates into $5,034 of expenditures per capita,

which is 7 percent more than the state average.

9 For example: o The Internal Revenue Service’s Exempt Organization Master File puts the number of 501(c)(3) organizations in Virginia as of 2012 at 40,644. But this

listing is rarely purged and may include many defunct organizations.

o A more precise picture includes only the organizations that have actually filed the Form 990 that the Internal Revenue Service 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 list-­‐

ings record 12,679 Virginia nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations as of 2010, of which 1,842 are private foundations.

o Yet a third picture of the scope of the nonprofit universe in Virginia is available from the employment data compiled by the Virginia Employment

Commission in cooperation with the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (the QCEW data set). This body of data, which covers all nonprofits with at least

4 employees, identifies just 5,294 nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations in Virginia.

This volunteer figure is slightly lower than the figure reported in our previous report based on 2005 data (130,073 vs. 139,000) because the average

number of hours volunteered dropped from 41.7 to 36.6 hours over this six-­‐year period. Interestingly, the total number of volunteers was actually greater in 2011 than in 2005 (1,783,482 vs. 1,729,247).

11 There are numerous reasons why governments might prefer for-­‐profit providers, including the strong political connections between government offi-­‐ cials and for-­‐profit leaders reinforced through campaign contributions, the higher wage rates paid by nonprofits in some fields, and nonprofits’ unwil-­‐ lingness to cut corners (for example, by “cherry-­‐picking” clients), which results in higher overall service costs.

12

While billions of recovery fund dollars were directed to human service fields, arts and culture organizations received just $50 million. For further de-­‐ tails on the availability of stimulus funds by field, see the National Council of Nonprofits' Economic Stimulus & Recovery Special Report, Number 1 (2009). [councilofnonprofits.org/sites/default/files/Special%20Report%201%20-­‐%20Overview%20%28Feb%2023%20FINAL%29.pdf]

13

This estimation is based on the comparison of total wages of the tax exempt entities identified in QCEW ($11,048 million in 2010) and total compensa-­‐ tion of employees reported by the IRS Form 990 filers ($11,425 million). The difference between these two figures, $377 million (3% of wages re-­‐ ported in Form 990), can be interpreted as a rough estimate of the maximum under-­‐reporting of employment due to differences in coverage be-­‐ tween 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.

14

The volunteering rate is calculated by dividing 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).

15

The bulk of these jobs were lost in the hospital field between 2004 and 2006. This reduction in hospital employment had a significant impact on the scale of the nonprofit sector: the nonprofit share of private employment in the Danville region declined by more than half, from 8.3 to 4.0 percent, over that 2-­‐year period.
