Some very interesting facts from Ongood...check them out. A couple of headliners below.
If NGOs were a country, they would have the fifth largest economy in the world! 1.4 billion people gave to the ten million NGOs worldwide last year- an increase from 1.2 billion in 2011.
The 129,000 European public-benefit foundations give more than 53 billion euros annually.
Tellingly, t hree out of four employees in the NGO sector are female, but the majority of leadership positions at NGOs are still predominately held by men.
