The National Center for Charitable Statistics

There is great interest among policy makers, researchers, and managers regarding the operations and impact of nonprofit and charitable organizations in the United States. The National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS) tries to meet that interest by collecting and disseminating data on nonprofit organizations in the U.S. The NCCS, which began in 1982 under the auspices of the Independent Sector, is currently (since 1996) a program of the Center for Nonprofits and Philanthropy at the Urban Institute. The NCCS is involved in the production of a number of print publications including the well-known New Nonprofit Almanac & Desk Reference. In addition, the NCCS works with Philanthropy Research Inc. in providing the Guidestar Web site (www.guidestar.org). Via its own Web site (http://nccs.urban.org) the NCCS provides detailed information regarding its projects and operations, as well as data and statistics on the nonprofit sector. The site also serves as the gateway to the NCCS DataWeb (http://nccsdataweb.urban.org), the Web-based tool by which the NCCS distributes the data it collects. The primary focus of this review is on the NCCS site, with limited coverage of the NCCS DataWeb.
