The State of Georgia’s Nonprofit Sector
Data for Funders and Nonprofit Leaders from Nonprofit Finance Fund’s State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey
Nonprofit Finance Fund’s 2025 State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey found Georgia’s nonprofit sector is a powerful force for community well-being and economic vitality. Nonprofits across the state are rising to meet growing demand despite financial strain, workforce challenges, and funding delays. These organizations are deeply embedded in their communities – serving, employing, advocating, and innovating. Yet 38% ended 2024 with a deficit – and many don’t have the resources on hand to manage emergencies or invest in their futures.

We are deeply concerned about the well-being of nonprofits in light of executive orders and federal funding freezes that have disrupted nonprofit operations, compounded with ongoing challenges like rising costs and increasing community needs. Recent executive orders have introduced significant changes that may directly or indirectly have a substantial impact on how nonprofits operate and secure funding to provide essential services.
