History and Importance of Social Impact Organizations
According to an article by the IRS entitled A History of the Tax-Exempt Sector: An SOI Perspective by Paul Arnsberger, Melissa Ludlum, Margaret Riley, and Mark Stanton, "The origins of the tax-exempt sector in the United States predate the formation of the republic." The article goes on to state that "early settlers formed charitable and other 'voluntary' associations, such as hospitals, fire departments, and orphanages to confront a wide variety of issues and ills of the era. These types of voluntary organizations have continued to thrive in the United States for centuries."
The pertinence of social impact organizations is no less significant in the 21st century! According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics there "are currently over 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in the United States." Additionally, even for-profit entities are increasingly recognizing the importance of charitable giving as evidenced by the rise of social enterprise and the emphasis placed on the goodwill of companies. The NPDC continues to build on this rich legacy by helping nonprofits spearhead and cultivate their respective social causes!
