DISTRIBUTION BY SIZE. Virginia nonprofits
also vary by size, although the proportion of large organization has grown over the past several years. Thus, as of 2010: o As shown in FIGURE 3.5, while 68 percent of all Virginia nonprofits had revenues less than $1 million, these organizations accounted for just one percent of all Virginia nonprofit ex-‐ penditures. By contrast, most Virginia non-‐ profit expenditures (83 percent) were made by the four percent of Virginia nonprofits with revenues of $50 million or more. o This distribution became more skewed be-‐ tween 2005 and 2010. In 2005, 82 percent of Virginia nonprofits had revenues less than $1 million, while just one percent had revenues of $50 million or more. This trend may be re-‐ lated to the economic downturn, which likely placed greater strains on the state’s smallest nonprofits.
