Nonprofit Nexus: State of the Sector
On October 22, 2025, the Nonprofit Resource Center will release its groundbreaking **Nonprofit Nexus: State of the Sector ** to the public. This report will highlight key trends, challenges, and opportunities within the nonprofit sector in our area, offering invaluable insights for the future. As a sponsor, this is your chance to be associated with this vital work and show your support for the Greater Chattanooga Area nonprofit community.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT:
While a state of the sector report isn’t unusual, we believe that there has never been one that reflects our entire three-state, 17 county region. As our nonprofit community works in and supports our region, not just Chattanooga and Hamilton County, we believe that having data that reflects the people and communities served will be vital to our nonprofits’ success. Not only will it be helpful in broadening the base upon which they can secure funding by providing statistical support for their work but it will also provide data that truly reflects the impact they’re having in all the communities they reach without it being skewed by results that typically show up in statewide state of the sector reports or lacking results for our neighbors in our surrounding counties in Tennessee, NW Georgia and NE Alabama.
We believe that Nonprofit Nexus: State of the Sector will inform the region of the economic and social impact that nonprofits are having, as well as identify gaps in meeting needs not currently being addressed. Building and sustaining organizational capacity is key to addressing those unmet needs and identifying opportunities for partnerships. Informing the business sector, foundations, and our government partners of the current scope and significance of the continuing needs of the nonprofit community will help them all to use their resources wisely to facilitate regional opportunities and collaborations that will more effectively address community challenges.
We intend to collect data across a broad spectrum of organizations representing many sub-sectors within the nonprofit community, including Arts and Culture, Education, Health and Wellness, Community and Economic Development, Faith Based Initiatives and others.
Naturally, a project of this scope and reach will require funding from the community to conduct the research, organize, publish, and present the data. Your sponsorship support will allow this inaugural report to be compiled, published and presented at an event to be held at the Chattanooga Whiskey Hall on October 22, 2025.
