Defining nonprofits has always been somewhat unfair to the really small organizations I like to work with, grassroots groups started by one person with a vision, and working to fulfill that with less (usually way less) than $250,000 annual revenue.
Karan Zapp has set up a good starting point through her survey, establishing six categories.
An excerpt, modified for clarity.
“Just over a month ago I reached out to the nonprofit industry.
“I asked leaders at nonprofits, colleagues at agencies, and other professionals to cast their vote to help establish classifications of nonprofit organizations by size. Specifically by annual gross receipts….
“Nano … annual gross receipts less than $250,000
“Micro … annual gross receipts greater than $250,000 and less than $500,000 (Range $250,000 – $500,000 per year)
“Small … annual gross receipts greater than $500,000 and less than $10-Million (Range $500,000 – $10 million/year)
“Medium … annual gross receipts greater than $10-Million and less than $50-Million (Range $10 – $50 million/year)
“Large … annual gross receipts greater than $50-Million and less than $100-Million (Range $50 – $100 million/year)
“Mega … annual gross receipts greater than $100-Million"
