In Northeast Florida we’re fortunate to have a formidable nonprofit community comprised of approximately 1,081 different organizations within Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns Counties. Duval County is home to more than 70 percent of the registered nonprofits in the region. Only 235 of these charitable organizations have annual revenues of $1 million or more. The vast majority – 71 percent – report less than $500,000 in annual revenue. Nonprofits employ 56,000 full-time workers, roughly nine percent of all civilian employees in the five-county area. The sector generates $5.8 billion in revenues and expends $5.5 billion, or $4,083 per person in the region.
