2009 National "Economic Outlook Survey" Research Results

Overview:

This national Economic Outlook Survey of nearly 1,000 Christian nonprofits was conducted in April of 2009 by J. David Schmidt & Associates (JDS&A) of Wheaton, Illinois (www.wiseplanning.net) in partnership with Christian Leadership Alliance, San Clemente, California (www.ChristianLeadershipAlliance.org)

The findings represent 250 responding organizations from a broad spectrum of Christian parachurch and church organizations, including camps and conference centers, denominational offices, mission and outreach agencies, publishers, professional service firms, social service organizations, associations, colleges/universities, Christian schools, broadcast ministries and churches.

"This economic survey shows the notable impact that this economic downturn is having on Christian nonprofit organizations," said Frank Lofaro, CLA president and CEO. "The revenues of charitable organizations have been adversely impacted by this economic downturn, but in this survey we have found that these organizations have taken significant steps to adjust to the new reality and plan effectively for the future."

Contents:

Fresh/new research among Christian charity leaders reveals two diverse findings:

• The global economic downturn has forced many Christian nonprofits to curtail their work and take similar actions as their for-profit counterparts.

• The majority of leaders find their faith in God is serving them well in these difficult economic times.
