- The collaborative efforts between nonprofits and faith-based organizations in Central Louisiana
- The challenges critical to nonprofits and faith-based organizations in providing services and building better communities in Central Louisiana
- The strengths and distinctive features of the nonprofit sector in Central Louisiana
Data for the study are from a survey of 244 randomly selected nonprofit and faith-based organizations in Central Louisiana that responded to a telephone survey conducted by Louisiana State University between November 2008 and January 2009. Financial data for nonprofits in Central Louisiana and other parts of the state are from the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS) at the Urban Institute. These data are based on the Forms 990 that nonprofits filed with the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) for the year 2006. Because of lags in data processing, 2006 data provide the most complete records for analysis. |
