Why is this important?

“Nonprofits' contributions to the state economy are real, even if they sometimes aren't immediately evident. Whether it's preserving nature for tourists to enjoy or helping struggling families pay utility bills so that other customers aren't forced to pay more to subsidize them, the groups enhance community health in a way that can reap long-term economic benefits.”
​~ 
Will Jenson, Economist, Idaho Department of Labor, Idaho Falls Office
“Any way you slice these numbers up, if you take a look at the impact on Idaho’s economy, they’re huge.”
​~ 
Steve Peterson, Economist & author of the report, University of Idaho
“Although the extent of a nonprofit's influence depends on its function, charities in the area are vital. The most profound impact to keep in mind, though, is that a healthy community provides a more productive workforce."
​~ 
Alivia Metts, Regional Economist, North Idaho
