Improvements in 2024 

It seemed to us that 2024 slipped by rather quickly, and so we here at GVT had to suddenly jam on the brakes and take a look in the rear-view mirror. At the end of each year, we like to report on the progress case workers have made in both the delivery of services and their impact on community well-being. In a year when increased caseloads presented significant challenges, case workers took a great leap forward in both enhancing the lives of the clients they served and improving the systems used to deliver services.

This year’s top ten most trusted nonprofit list is composed of familiar names with a bias toward healthcare, especially for children. Individuals gave more than $325 billion to the nonprofits they trusted the most in 2024. Like years past, we would like to acknowledge the top ten.

Sharing is Caring

This blog recently conducted an impromptu poll of customers who encountered a Salvation Army veteran collecting donations in front of a local supermarket. Like most Americans, as it turns out, we had been dropping a few dollars into the ubiquitous Salvation Army red pot for many years around Christmas but knew little about the Salvation Army or what they did with the money. So, we surveyed 12 of the people who had dropped money into the red pot when entering the grocery store. Only 3 of the 12 knew the army was a charity "of some kind".

Everything Has Changed-Yet Nothing Has Changed 

The number of nonprofits has grown at a steady rate of 1.4% annually over the last 20 years.

• The total revenue of nonprofits has grown from a little more than $1 trillion in 2000 to about $3 trillion in 2023.
• 71% of nonprofits have seen an increase in demand for their programs and services.

From The Heart

The impulse to care for one another is at the heart of the nonprofit movement. Over the years nonprofits have grown to proportions no one could have imagined or predicted. The nonprofit sector has become a significant portion of "big business". A quick glance at some of the most well-known charities in America tells quite a success story:

Fish

• In 1992, the Atlantic cod population on Canada's northeast coast collapsed under fierce fishing pressure to less than 1% of its historic biomass. This collapse was the largest fisheries collapse the world has ever seen.
• Nearly 80% of the world's fisheries are already fully exploited, over-exploited, depleted, or in a state of collapse. Worldwide, 90% of the stocks of large predatory fish, such as sharks, tuna, marlin, and swordfish, are already gone!
• Greenpeace lists: “Atlantic Halibut, Monkfish, all sharks, and Blue Fin Tuna” as overfished species.
• Globally, the share of fish stocks which are overexploited (we catch them faster than they can reproduce to sustain population levels) has more than doubled since the 1980s, and this means that current levels of wild fish catch are unsustainable.
