The nonprofit sector is experiencing burgeoning growth. In the United States, it now includes more than 1.3 million organizations, receiving more than $200 billion in philanthropic support each year, and employing one in ten Americans. In recent years, privatization of institutions and services previously supported by governments has lead to the expansion of the nonprofit sector in nations around the world and an increased role for international non-governmental organizations. This growth has created a need for trained nonprofit managers and for research focused on the unique challenges of managing nonprofit organizations.

The George Washington University Nonprofit Management Initiative is a collaborative undertaking that brings together faculty representing various disciplines, programs, schools, and specialties related to education, research and service in the nonprofit sector.
