8.15.2010 - Why "Know Your Sector"

For the last five years, I have taught a graduate course on Nonprofit Management at IslandWood in conjunction with the University of Washington. My students are often surprised to learn about the significant role that nonprofit organizations play in our world. One out of ten U.S. workers are employed by charities, and the sector accounts for one of every 13 GDP dollars. Know Your Sector is intended as a resource for nonprofit employees, volunteers, and donors to better know our sector.
