Grassroots Aid Survey: Key Findings on Small International Development Organizations

Abstract

This report provides the first national survey data on the programs, finances, and challenges of small and mid-sized international development nonprofits. The data are drawn from the 2021 Grassroots Aid Survey, with a sample of 185 U.S.-based international development organizations with annual budgets of less than $1 million. We summarize key findings and offer a few conclusions for these nonprofits’ own work, the entities that support them, and for future research.
