Inside Philanthropy: Nonprofits, philanthropy are big business, officially
Inside Philanthropy: Nonprofits, philanthropy are big business, officially: "According to a new report by Johns Hopkins University, data from official statistical agencies in eight countries show the civil-society sector contributes roughly as much to gross domestic product in some countries as do the construction and finance industries, and twice as much as the utilities industry. The eight countries whose official statistical agencies generated the data are the first to put into effect new guidelines from the United Nations Handbook on Nonprofit Institutions that the United Nations Statistical Division issued in 2003."
