>> WELCOME TO NEW HAMPSHIRE'S BUSINESS, I'M FRED KOCUR.
A 6,547 CHARITABLE PROFITS IN THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THEY PUT OUT AN ECONOMIC IMPACT REPORT AND HERE ARE THE NUMBERS AND THEY'RE STUNNING.
11 BILLION IN REVENUE GENERATED.
4.6 BILLION IN WAGES PAID.
8300 EMPLOYEES, 1600 OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE WORK FORCE 329,000 VOLUNTEERS.
HERE ARE THE NONPROFITS BY THE MISSION THEY SERVE 32.4% HUMAN SERVICES 17 IS.5% EDUCATION.
12% ARTS AND CULTURE 8.2 FOUNDATIONS, A HERE IS MORE, 7.2% ENVIRONMENT, 6.9% HEALTH.
5.7% RELIGION AND 3.2% COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT.
WITH ME TO TALK ABOUT THIS IS THE CEO OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE CENTER FOR NONPROFITS, KATHLEEN REARDON.
>> GLAD TO BE HERE.
>> ARE YOU STUNNED BY THE NUMBERS?
>> I WORK FOR THE NONPROFIT SECTOR.
ONE OF THE REASONS WE DID THIS REPORT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF NONPROFITS IN THE COMMUNITIES.
IT'S A WAY TO GET THE INFORMATION OUT.
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING, YOU HAD 15% OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE WORK FORCE WORKING FOR NONPROFITS.
NATIONALLY IT'S 10%.
>> WE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE RELY ON THE NONPROFIT COMMUNITY EXTENSIVELY AND THE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE BASIC SERVICES AND SUPPORT THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
>> THE LARGEST GROUP OF THE NONPROFITS ARE IN THE HUMAN SERVICES, 32%.
CLEARLY THAT IS GROWING, IS IT?
>> YEAH, I THINK THAT THE HUMAN SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS ARE A BIG PART OF THE NONPROFIT SECTOR, THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES.
ONE OF THE OTHER PIECES TO REMEMBER THE NONPROFIT SECTOR IS QUITE DIVERSE AND WE THINK OF SOCIAL SERVICES AGENCIES, BUT IT'S ARTS ORGANIZATIONS.
ORGANIZATIONS FOCUSED ON THE ENVIRONMENT, THOSE ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP SUPPORT OUR YOUTH AND EDUCATION.
SO, REALLY, IT'S QUITE A DIVERSE SECTOR IN OUR STATE.
>> MOST OF THE NONPROFITS, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, ARE SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
NOT SO MANY IN NORTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
DO WE NEED MORE IN NORTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE?
ARE THEY BE SERVED ADEQUATELY?
>> WE DO BREAK DOWN THE NUMBER OF NONPROFITS IN EACH COUNTY.
>> RIGHT.
>> FOR PEOPLE TO SEE THAT AND CERTAINLY THERE ARE MORE IN MANCHESTER AND ROCKINGHAM COUNTIES AND HILLSBORO AND ROCKINGHAM COMMUNITIES AND SOME OF THOSE ARE STATE WIDE SERVING
THE REGIONS OF THE STATE.
I'M NOT SURE.
THERE MAY BE IN SOME KINDS OF FOCUS AREAS THAT THERE MAY BE NEEDS TO BE MORE, BUT I THINK THE DISTRIBUTION REFLECTS A LOT OF THE POPULATION DISTRIBUTION.
>> STATE GOVERNMENT.
STATE GOVERNMENT PLAYS A LARGE ROLE IN HUMAN SERVICES IN THIS STATE AND A LOT OF THOSE MISSIONS THAT WE PUT UP ON THE SCREEN.
IS THE STATE SERVING THE NONPROFIT SECTOR ADEQUATELY RIGHT NOW IN THE STATE?
>> I MEAN, NONPROFITS OFTEN PARTNER WITH THE STATE.
NOT EVERY NONPROFIT DOES AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE POINTS OF THE REPORT.
NONPROFITS ALL HAVE DIVERSE FUNDING MODELS.
SOME CONTRACT QUITE EXTENSIVELY WITH THE STATE TO FUEL THEIR MISSIONS.
>> LET'S PUT THAT NONPROFIT'S BUDGET UP ON THE SCREEN BECAUSE THIS TELLS THE STORY.
437 BUDGETS ARE OVER A MILLION.
SOME OF THOSE WOULD BE HOSPITALS.
1,346 BUDGETS ARE 50,000 TO 1 MILLION, BUT 4,764 BUDGETS ARE LESS THAN 50,000 DOLLARS.
>> RIGHT.
>> SO FUND RAISING IS A CHALLENGE?
>> 70% OF THE ORGANIZATIONS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ARE UNDER $50,000.
THOSE ARE A LOT OF YOUR GRASS ROOTS ORGANIZATIONS FUELED BY VOLUNTEERS.
AND AGAIN, SOME NONPROFITS RELY HEAVILY ON CONTRIBUTIONS, SOME USE FEES AND SERVICES, TICKETS, OTHER THINGS AS WELL.
VERY DIVERSE.
>> AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF JOBS OPENED IN NONPROFITS.
LET'S PUT THAT UP AND HERE THEY ARE.
1 151 OPEN JOBS LISTED ON THE CENTERS FOR NONPROFITS WEBSITE.
THERE'S THE ADDRESS.
IS THAT THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF OPENINGS OR MORE THAN USUAL?
>> WE'VE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF JOBS POSTED ON OUR WEBSITES FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND YOU CAN THINK OF A LOT OF THE NONPROFITS THAT POST ARE IN THE HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
AREAS, WHERE WE'VE SEEN WORK FORCE S
