In April 2013, the IRS released structured data culled from the
tax returns of almost 616,000 tax-exempt organizations.
ProPublica has created this database which
you can use to find organizations and see details like
their executive compensation, revenue and expenses, as well as
download their tax filings going back as far as 2001. This
database does not include private foundations.
PhilanTech and GrantStation recently conducted the Spring 2013
State of Grantseeking, the sixth semi-annual survey of nonprofits
to learn about their grantseeking activities, successes, and
challenges.
Over three-quarters of respondent organizations received grant
awards in the last six months of 2012, and more organizations
received larger grants. Larger organizations fared better
than smaller organizations, with both private and community
foundations increasing the number of awards to large
organizations, while decreasing support for smaller
organizations.
As a Regional Partner of the survey, we are pleased
to convey the following announcement from Nonprofit Compensation
Associates.
Time to purchase the just-published “Fair Pay for Northern
California Nonprofits: The 2013 Compensation and Benefits Survey”
report – the best survey of its kind in the country.
With 434 participating agencies, reporting on over 20,000 jobs,
the 2013 survey report is the largest and most robust in the
survey’s 35-year history.
Infographics–essentially any combination of information and
image used to tell a story by visually representing data–help us
make sense of all the data we’re tracking and share the
conclusions we draw with others. Sometimes an infographic can
present your argument in a more appropriate way than a report, an
email, or other written communications.
