In 2023, two-thirds of nonprofits from a nationally representative panel study in the United States received at least one government grant or contract, resulting in the average nonprofit generating one-quarter of its revenue from government sources that year. Over a third of nonprofits received more than a quarter of their revenue from the government, and about two in ten nonprofits received more than half of their revenue from the government.
The tables in this fact sheet show data on the percentages of nonprofits that received government grants and contracts across the US and by region, size, subsector, and state, and the percentages of revenue coming from government sources across the US and by region, size, subsector, and state. It is part of the Nonprofit Trends and Impacts Study.
