In 2020, the Alliance and the Edyth Bush Institute for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership at Rollins College surveyed nonprofit community organizations across Florida. The purpose of the survey was to better understand the characteristics of community-based nonprofits in Florida and the impact these organizations have on Florida’s families, communities and economy.
Join us as we review the results and discuss how you can use them to support the work you do with community members, funders and the world at large.
