The Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project, which is a project of the Centre, aims to analyze the scope, structure, financing and role of the private nonprofit sector in a cross-section of 35 countries. The project examines geographic patterns and characteristics of the nonprofit sector and produces a global assessment of civil society that analyzes the scope, size, composition and financing of the sector, including data on nonprofit employment, volunteering, expenditures and revenues.
