The nonprofit sector’s role in N.H.’s economy - New Hampshire Business Review - April 5 2013

The nonprofit sector’s role in N.H.’s economy - New Hampshire Business Review - April 5 2013: The viewpoint held by many nonprofit leaders is that one of the first tasks facing our state is to step forward and clarify, with data and outcome analysis, what the role and impact of the nonprofit sector is in our state.

We need to go beyond the reality that the nonprofit sector employs one out of seven workers in New Hampshire and generates over $9 billion toward the state’s GDP. We need to go beyond the fact that nonprofits help bring over $1 billion in federal funds into the state each year. And we need to go beyond the fact that our work is critical to tourism, to a healthy workforce and to ensuring the health and safety of our most vulnerable residents.
