sector’s needs
San Bernardino County and the Pomona Valley, CA (February 26,
2008) – A recent survey of Inland Empire nonprofit agencies
reveals some interesting results about the assets and needs of
the nonprofit sector. The results of the survey will be
especially useful to guide strategic planning efforts and to
leverage funding for the nonprofit sector within this region.
Key Findings:
- 75% of agency executives indicated that they place "a lot"
of value on collaboration.
- More than 1/3 of the executives indicated that there is no
opportunity for advancement for young professionals within
their organization.
- 74% of agency executives reported that their organization
relies heavily on government funding.
- The top three issues affecting local nonprofits are
Increased Operating Costs, Fundraising Effectiveness and
Increased Need for Agency Services.
- Most executives indicated their agency needs a service to
help recruit board members.
“It's important for all of us to keep in touch with the needs in
our communities, especially which needs are not being met,” said
CEO Chris Briggs, Desert Communities United Way.
