Economic Impact Report

The 2026 Economic Impact of Florida’s Nonprofits

 

Nonprofit organizations make a considerable impact on various aspects of life for Florida residents, including positive influences on the economy, health, social well-being, culture, and education. Nonprofits in Florida contribute to the state’s economy by employing nearly half a million people and paying wages and benefits to those employees, which has ripple effects throughout the economy as those employees spend their wages on all sorts of goods and services. These organizations also generate revenue through fundraising activities, donations, and program fees.

As employers and service providers, nonprofit organizations are key components of the state and local economy. FNA engaged Public Sector Consultants (PSC) to identify and quantify data on the economic impact of the state’s nonprofit sector. These data can be a powerful tool in identifying nonprofits within a specific community or social function, as well as in advocacy and fundraising efforts, as they provide concrete evidence of nonprofits’ important contributions to the economy.
