The Urban Institute is pleased to have hosted a lunch and panel discussion on the release of Nonprofit-Government Contracts and Grants: Findings of the 2013 Survey.

This report, from the Urban Institute’s Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy, reveals that nearly 56,000 nonprofit organizations had 350,000 government contracts and grants totaling more than $137 billion in 2012. In this new study of nonprofit-government funding relationships, we move beyond human service nonprofits to assess the scope of government contracts and grants across most types of charitable nonprofits, adding a new dimension of knowledge. We also compare the funding relationships of human service nonprofits in 2009 with those in 2012 to assess changes in the aftermath of the recession.

This study is part of a collaborative project between the Urban Institute and the National Council of Nonprofits. The project was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
