The National Center for Charitable Statistics contains a treasure trove of statistics on the nonprofit sector. Stats can be useful for reminding one's Dean why nonprofit courses matter. For example in the US summary, the total number of public 501(c)(3) charities increased 68.7% from 1996 to 2006 and the number of private foundations increased 86.9% during that same period. Stats on each state are available as well.
