> the sector in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. It shows that
> nonprofit organizations are hardly an exclusively American phenomenon,
> that time, not money, contributions are more important to the economic
> and social impacts of nonprofit work, that the nonprofit sector uses a
> larger labor force than ever believed, and that government is a key
> source of nonprofit finance.
