Nonprofits Spending Bare Minimum on Infrastructure, Report Finds

In a recent fundraising study conducted by Common Impact, 79 percent of nonprofits surveyed reported spending 2 percent or less of their operating budgets to support key infrastructure.

Common Impact, a nonprofit organization that connects professionals from global companies to local nonprofits, surveyed more than 185 nonprofit organizations, interviewed social-sector experts, reviewed existing literature and analyzed its own outcomes data for the study. This study was the second in a series of three reports identifying common capacity constraints in the nonprofit sector.
