The nonprofit sector in America is a reflection some of the foundational values that brought our nation into existence. Fundamentals, such as the idea that people can govern themselves and the belief that people should have the opportunity to make a difference by joining a like-minded group, have made America and its nonprofit sector what it is today. The American "civil society" is one that has been produced through generations of experiments with government policy, nonprofit organizations, private partnerships, and individuals who have asserted ideas and values. The future of the nonprofit sector will continue to be experimental in many ways. However, the increase of professional studies in nonprofit management and the greater

The Alliance for Better Nonprofits (ABN), located in the Regas building in Downtown Knoxville, exists to provide resources, training, consulting, networking, and standards of excellence for nonprofit organizations in the 25 counties of Upper East Tennessee (What We Do, 2017).

Nonprofit organizations broadly described operate to achieve missions that serve the common good. Graduate study in the field of nonprofit management focuses on the development of leadership skills for nonprofit managers and provides education in areas such as general operations, human resources, strategies, and fund development (Nachmias, 2008). Students of nonprofit management also develop proficiency in other matters such as nonprofit legal issues, organizational development, donor relations, financial management and fund-raising, volunteer, and human resource management, and pro-gram evaluation, to name a few competencies (Nachmias, 2008).Many nonprofit management programs have a theoretical component, and most programs rely on experiential learning as a vital element of a graduate student’s education. Future studies of community impact should include analysis components from the fields of nonprofit management education, service learning, capacity building, and nonprofit evaluation, and take into consideration specific factors that may affect study outcomes.

The United States has an extraordinarily large, diverse, economically powerful and politically influential nonprofit sector, distinct from government and business. It consists of more than 1.6 million registered organizations and institutions and perhaps an equal or even larger number of nonprofit associations that are not required to formally register or report their activities. The U.S. nonprofit sector is more broadly defined than elsewhere and includes schools, hospitals, museums, civil rights groups, labor unions, and many, many others. It accounts for more than six percent of the US Gross Domestic Product and employs more than nine percent of all US workers.

A nonprofit organization (NPO), can be self-sustaining by adhering to some very simple rules. A nonprofit is described as an organization that “Operates for the common good and not for generating individual wealth: does not distribute its profits to individuals who control the organization such as its members, officers, directors, or trustees. While a non-profit organization can make a profit, the profit it earns must be used toward the core missions of the organization and not towards any personal benefits” (Bennett, 2013). One of the enormous challenges that a

This project aims to find out the performance of the U.S. Tax-Exempt Organizations in 2015. Especially, we are going to understand how different types of the tax-exempt organizations performed in different States from an industry level in the above-mentioned period.

The root of many of the tensions that nonprofits face is conflict between business outcomes and social outcomes (Fong 2015). Nonprofits are formed to achieve missions, but require sufficient funds to operate and exist within a capitalistic society. The nonprofit sector is becoming increasingly competitive, forcing some nonprofits to professionalize and adopt strategies from the business world, like paid marketing campaigns, to attract donors and volunteers. This blurs the line between the public and private aspects of the sector, and has been a controversial trend that can attract both support and disapproval.

Studies support, the attitudes in capitalistic America, and the ease of nonprofits to embrace this concept; evidenced by their ability to sell their once free services, to meet the demands of the consumer.
