The money doesn't stop moving when it enters a nonprofit. It moves from the organisation into communities, businesses, households and the wider economy.

Think about it: salaries are paid, goods and services are purchased, consultants are engaged, training programmes are delivered, logistics are covered, and local vendors get business. Every activity triggers an economic transaction, creating a chain of spending that extends far beyond the organisation itself.

Through our recent report, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗼𝗻𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮, we have a closer look at this often-overlooked dimension of the sector, examining how nonprofit operations create chain of economic activity, supporting livelihoods and contributing to the wider economy, creating value at every stop.
Nonprofit spending doesn't end when a payment is made. It sets other economic activities in motion.
