What We Are Building
Cape Fear Collective and UNCW's QENO, with support from the Landfall Foundation, are pulling together data from tax forms, grant reports, and local feedback to build three tools:
The Report
A readable summary of sector-wide trends in finances, workforce, and capacity.
The Website
A public dashboard where you can filter data by focus area (Housing, Arts, etc.) and location.
The Dataset
A clean, anonymized benchmark to track sector health year over year.
Why This Matters
For Nonprofits
We're building this with you. You get the evidence you need to push for real change, backed by numbers you helped shape.
For Funders
Gain insight about how your grantees contribute to community-level outcomes. Learn about ways funding can be used to foster successful collaborations.
For Policymakers
See how the impact of nonprofits can inform public policy decisions. Reframe the conversation about public services from “charity” to “resilience.”
The Survey is Open.
Add Your Voice.
More than 90 sector participants shaped what we ask. Now we need the responses to bring the report to life. The more nonprofits respond, the more impactful the findings will be when they land in front of funders, leaders, and policymakers.
