Abstract
A sample of national nonprofit organizations drawn from the national Encyclopedia of Associations (1988) is examined. Principal findings include that these organizations have recently grown at 3.6 percent per year; are mainly work or leisure oriented; have a mean age of eighteen years (younger than in a 1975 study); have mainly individual (rather than organizational) memberships, a median size of 445 (much higher for individuals than organizations), and small staffs (median estimated to be zero); and show declining concentration in the Washington, D.C., New York City, and Chicago metropolitan areas as a set (but a rise in Washington, D.C., locations). Some interpretations of the data are offered.Keywords
