Highlighting Women in Nonprofit Leadership:
Globally, women make up 75% of the nonprofit sector's workforce, yet they remain underrepresented in leadership roles, particularly in larger nonprofit organizations, and face pay inequities. This World NGO Day let's focus on recognizing and supporting the crucial role of women in nonprofit leadership, especially those from racialized backgrounds, immigrant communities, indigenous groups, and individuals with disabilities.

Global Market Size of NGOs and Charitable Organizations:
The global market size of NGOs and charitable organizations reached nearly $329.3 billion in 2020, projected to grow to $457.8 billion by 2025 and $528.1 billion by 2030, at a rate of 6.8% and 4.9%, respectively.
