The Indiana Nonprofit Sector: A Profile, by Kirsten A. Grnbjerg and Linda J. Allen, summarizes the results of a 2002 survey of 2,205 Indiana charities, congregations, and advocacy and mutual-benefit organizations. Ms. Grnbjerg, a professor at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, in Indianapolis, and Ms. Allen, a research associate, provide information about the fields in which the groups work, how long they have been incorporated, their sources of financing, and their geographic distribution. Among other findings, the authors say that approximately 8 percent of the state’s paid work force was employed by charities in 2001 and that 45 percent of the organizations experienced either moderate or significant increases in demand for services. The report was prepared by Indiana University’s Center on Philanthropy and its School of Public and Environmental Affairs, in Bloomington.
