Study emphasizes nonprofits' importance to Indiana economy.
Oct. 25--A new study released by Indiana University shows nonprofit organizations in the state play a vital role in Indiana's economy.
Researchers studied statistics from 2005, the most recent year where complete data was available, to determine that about one out of every 12 employees in Indiana work for nonprofit organizations.
The study's lead author, SPEA professor Kirsten A. Gronbjerg, said nonprofits employed about 235,000 people throughout Indiana.
"Not only do they provide a large share of services that are key to the quality of life in local communities, but many employees pay income taxes and buy food and restaurant meals in the local communities," she said in a statement. "They are an important part of the state's economy in more ways than one."
The report, titled Indiana Nonprofit Employment: 2007 Report, was jointly produced by IU-Bloomington's School of Public and Environmental Affairs, the Center on Philanthropy at IUPUI and the Johns Hopkins Nonprofit Economic Data Project.
