The Alliance for Human Services' count — 1,478 organizations; 30,744 nonprofit jobs
The study: The Alliance for Human Services — a membership body formed in 2016, with more than fifty Allen County human-service organizations — commissioned True North NPO and the University of Saint Francis to measure the sector, with funding from the Foellinger Foundation and the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne: the grantmakers paying, characteristically, to have their own world counted. Working from the IRS Business Master File of August 2017, the study counted 1,478 501(c)(3) organizations in Allen County — a concentration it described as the third largest in Indiana — and 30,744 total nonprofit jobs countywide.
The human-services core: Within that universe, the study counted 373 human-service nonprofits employing 11,174 people — about thirty-six percent of all county nonprofit employment — contributing more than $722 million to gross regional product, on combined revenue of more than $405 million, assets of $552 million and 2016 wages of $382,751,396. The study's boundary is its caveat: "human services" is the Alliance's membership world — the Charities section's organizations — and excludes the hospitals and universities that dominate the countywide jobs figure.
