Advocacy efforts by nonprofits in Pennsylvania over the last five years have led to more than $3.1 billion in benefits to underserved populations in the state, a new study says.
Each dollar invested in advocacy during the five-year period by 13 nonprofits in returned $122 in benefits to local communities, says the report from the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy.
That does not include non-monetary benefits like protecting clean water and providing educational services for students with cognitive disabilities.
