  1. The Nonprofit Landscapein San Mateo County June 23, 2011 │ Silicon Valley Community Foundation

  2. Why does it matter? Today in San Mateo County • 659 nonprofits actively serve our residents • Most are small with few if any staff and with a median budget of $190,000 • A few large agencies utilize the lion’s share of resources while the majority 95% share 20% of the resources

  3. The 501(c)(3) Landscape What do we mean by nonprofit? • Charitable operating organizations How many nonprofits do we have in SMC? • What we know is limited to information collected by the IRS through annual filing of form 990 • 312 foundations (private foundations and public charity supporting organizations) • 659 operating charities • 235 human services organizations • 424 other nonprofits

  4. How big are nonprofits?

  5. How much do budgets vary? • Expenditures – a nonprofit’s budget - cover all operating costs incl. salaries, facilities, supplies and other program expenses. • Four very large organizations have budgets of $100m+, utilizing 60% of the total budgetary resources in the sector • 36 (5%) have budgets above $5m, utilizing 80% of the total budgetary resources • The typical or median budget is $190,000 – most are very lean operations with few or no staff

  6. How do resources compare with mission?

  7. Who provides the safety net?

  8. Spotlight on Human Services • Human services represent 36% of the sector (237 nonprofits) yet only 16% of the resources ($291m). • The Human Services category is a mix of safety net organizations (including food, shelter, job training, youth development and children and family services) with recreation and sports (parks and sports leagues).

  9. Where are the nonprofits headquartered?

  10. Does location matter? Are there critical gaps in services in some SMC communities? • Data were pulled on 20 cities and 17 unincorporated communities • 5 cities have 391 nonprofit headquarters (59%): San Mateo, Redwood City, Menlo Park, Foster City and Burlingame • 7 cities and communities have fewer than 1 nonprofit per 1,000 residents • 15 cities and communities have no nonprofits

  11. A Tale of Three Cities • Menlo Park • Full spectrum of civil society including safety net services as well as education, PTAs, arts, garden clubs, service clubs, research, daycare etc. • Daly City • Nearly half (9 /21) are human services (only one sports league) and 5 are health • East Palo Alto • Heavily concentrated in human services (10), education (6) and health (6)

  12. Breakout Questions TASK: each group to report out 1-3 actionable ideas: • What questions are suggested by the data that are worthy of further research? (Denise Gammal) • How can we use the data to advocate for the nonprofit sector? (Diana Conti) • How can we use the data to help with our fundraising efforts? (Laura Bent) • How can we use the data to promote and create collaboration? (Honora Miller)
