Mississippi charities spend more than $4 billion each year in the state on community services, according to newly released figures from the Mississippi Center for Nonprofits.

That's about $300,000 more than the state had in its general fund budget for fiscal year 2004.

The amount of charitable spending was part of an overall study conducted by the National Council of Nonprofit Associations detailing the economic impact of nonprofits on Mississippi."
