Missouri Nonprofits: Building Capacity for the 21st Century

NSC is proud to release the first-ever statewide survey on the financial health of Missouri nonprofits. The study, Missouri Nonprofits: Building Capacity for the 21st Century, establishes a baseline of data on the finances and management of small to midsized nonprofits that provide direct services to the Missouri public, such as child care providers, community health clinics, and senior centers.

The study suggests that Missouri nonprofits are adept at managing the constant challenges posed by uncertain and restricted income but are challenged to grow their programs without additional resources. Respondents also reported that the lack of general operating support remains a key challenge.
