Our ResearchFlorida's Nonprofit Sector: An Economic Force ReportThe study of Florida's nonprofit sector commissioned by Florida Philanthropic Network reveals the significant role that nonprofits play in the economy of our state. This study is a joint product of the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies and the Florida Philanthropic Network conducted by Lester M . Salamon, Stephanie Lessans Geller, and S. Wojciech Sokolowski. Florida nonprofits employ six times the number of people employed by the state's renowned agriculture industry, according to the report. With 380,000 paid workers and another 250,000 full-time equivalent volunteer workers, the Florida nonprofit work force exceeds that of the state's real estate industry by more than 3 to 1, and its banking and insurance industry by nearly 50 percent. Florida's nonprofit sector generated more than $48 billion in revenues in 2005, the latest year for which data are available. The state's paid nonprofit workers alone accounted for nearly $13 billion in wages as of 2005. This translates into significant sales tax revenues for Florida governments.
