Americans’ Faith in Nonprofits Is Strong, Survey Finds

Seven in ten Americans trust nonprofit organizations more than they trust the government or businesses to solve society’s problems, according to a new poll. But nearly nine out of ten Americans say that nonprofit groups face financial problems of their own and that getting sufficient money is one of the biggest concerns for charities.

The survey, sponsored by American Express, was conducted online over two days last month. More than 1,000 adults responded to the five-question poll.
