Growth not without struggle for Austin’s philanthropic groups - Community Impact Newspaper: "Report claims just 15 percent of area’s nonprofits have paid staff
Most of Austin’s nonprofits are small, short on cash and operate without paid staff, according to a new report detailing the state of the city’s nonprofit sector.
There are more than 5,800 nonprofit organizations in Austin, a 36 percent increase since 2004, according to the Greenlights study. That is higher than the state—28 percent—or national—20 percent—average increases during that time. However, nearly three-quarters of area nonprofits have annual incomes less than $100,000, and less than 40 percent of sector leaders report having strong organizational financial health."
