Alaska’s nonprofit sector accounts for $6.5 billion in direct expenditures. $4.4 billion is generated by charitable nonprofits, or 501(c)(3) organizations. $2.1 billion comes from other 501(c) organizations.

The sector employs 39,000 people – or 12% of the state’s workforce – an increase of 7,000 from 2010. Nationally, the nonprofit sector makes up 10.6% of the workforce.

These are just a few of the statistics that are part of our latest economic impact report — and they demonstrate the economic significance of the sector in Alaska.
