There is no more reliable source of fundamental data and information than the National Center for Charitable Statistics, a part of the Washington, DC based Urban Institute – and basic data and information is free. Their mission is “to develop and disseminate high quality data on nonprofit organizations and their activities for use in research on the relationships between the nonprofit sector, government, the commercial sector, and the broader civil society.”
