  20. Nonprofit Sector Studies • Methods and Approach • ND: Examined top 100 public charities & 66 foundations • MN: Examined a random sample of top 100 public charities ($100,000+) & top 100 foundations • Used IRS records (Form 990) • Developed financial performance measures • Fiscal • Mission • Sustainability North Dakota State University, IACC Room 424, P.O.

  24. Concentration of wealth among North Dakota’s Top Public Charities: Assets vs Number, 2007 Assets Number Top 10% of public charities account for 59% of total assets 65% of total revenues 66% of total expenses North Dakota State University, IACC Room 424, P.O.

  26. Impact of Potential Changes • Develop collaborative structure to leverage resources • Skills building • Fundraising • Marketing • Capacity building Consider: if the 10 largest charities in ND redirected 1% of expenses to collaborative support, the amount available for leveraging would be $16,076,688. (This is equal to total revenues for the smallest 141 nonprofits or 13% in ND.) Note: 1% redirection for foundations in ND = $127,839, (which would cover all revenues for the smallest 45 nonprofits).
