Delta Democrat Times Online: Local News

Delta Democrat Times Online: Local News: "Local News
Nonprofits part of Mississippi's economic scene


The Mississippi Center for Nonprofits in Jackson released a comprehensive report in October titled 'The Mississippi Nonprofit Sector,' which provides an overview of the state of nonprofits in Mississippi.

Besides all the statistical information provided, there is also information that shows the Delta is alive and well when it comes to the number of nonprofits operating in our counties and communities.

In Washington County, the report cites 52 reporting charitable nonprofits in 2002, which doesn't include ones registered with the Internal Revenue Service but not required to file with the IRS. Not included are such groups as youth sports leagues, rescue squads, garden clubs and church groups."
