New Jersey non-profits are feeling the effects of the economic downturn, rising demand for services and drastically shrinking pools of funding, according to a survey conducted by the Center for Non-Profits. New Jersey Non-Profits 2009: Trends and Outlook is the latest in a series of annual surveys by the Center to gauge trends, experiences and projections of New Jersey non-profit organizations.
This report presents the findings of the Center for Non-Profits' 2009 New Jersey Non-Profit Sector Issues and Trends Survey. The survey provides further evidence of the toll that the current climate is taking on the charitable community. For more information, read the press release and full survey report.
The Center for Non-Profits will continue to gather and disseminate information regarding how non-profits are faring in the current economic and social environment, and what can be done to address emerging trends.

About New Jersey Non-Profits at the Crossroads and the Nonprofit Congress
In 2006, the Center for Non-Profits embarked on an ambitious long-term effort with partners across the country to unify and strengthen the non-profit sector. Following the groundbreaking New Jersey Non-Profits at the Crossroads: A Summit for the Future of the Non-Profit Sector, attended by leaders in non-profits, business, government and philanthropy, New Jersey sent 8 delegates to the Nonprofit Congress National Meeting in October 2006 to develop priorities for collective action.
Top Priorities of the 2006 Nonprofit Congress:
- Nonprofit Organizational Effectiveness focusing on Accountability/Best Practices and Leadership
- Advocacy and Grassroots Community Activities
- Public Awareness and Support of the Sector
The Nonprofit Congress, a national, multi-year initiative designed to strengthen the ability of non-profits and their allies to work with media, business, government and civic leaders toward common goals, is an initiative of the National Council of Nonprofit Associations, the network of state and regional nonprofit associations serving over 20,000 non-profits in 41 states and the District of Columbia.
