The Charitable Nonprofits is a comprehensive study--spanning more than two decades--of the nonprofit sector. Using an institutional perspective, this report describes the world of charitable nonprofits as they exist today; gives an overview of the trends in institutional populations by charting the establishment of new entities and the exit rates among nonprofits since the mid 1960s; and examines the complex relationship of such factors as institutional type, age, size, and access to sources of revenue to reveal characteristic revenue profiles.
