RedOrbit - Technology - University of San Francisco: New Report on Silicon Valley Nonprofits: "University of San Francisco: New Report on Silicon Valley Nonprofits

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report released today shows that the nonprofit sector in California's Silicon Valley grew significantly between 1994 and 2003, and maintained steady services despite a roller-coaster economy and much-reduced funding. The study warns of significant challenges, however, including decreased government funding and shrinking operating margins, and it suggests that some high-need communities in Silicon Valley are underserved.

The study, Silicon Valley's Changing Nonprofit Sector, presents a detailed picture of the Valley's nonprofit sector and analysis of its development between 1994 and 2003. It was conducted by the University of San Francisco's Institute for Nonprofit Organization Management (INOM) to help civic, nonprofit and philanthropic leaders better target their efforts to the diverse demands of the Silicon Valley community."
