Community
Profiles: South Bend
To develop solid information on nonprofits in the South metropolitan area we included a special sample of nonprofits from the region in our 2002 survey of Indiana nonprofits along with similar samples from the eleven other communities profiled in the project and drawn from our comprehensive listing of Indiana nonprofits (see below). Most of our full survey reports include regional data in appendix tables. We have also presented some South Bend area data in our separate series of reports on Indiana nonprofit employment.
Comprehensive
Profile of Nonprofits in the South Bend Metrolitan Region
Read
our special survey report on South
Bend Nonprofits: Scope and Dimensions (Nonprofit
Survey Series, Community Report #4, revised November 2006).
This
report is based on our survey of Indiana nonprofits completed
in 2002 and compares the profile of South Bend nonprofits
to those in the rest of the state and to nonprofits in other
metropolitan regions.
Comprehensive
Listing of Nonprofits in the South Bend Metropolitan Region
The South Bend community includes St. Josephs County. For our most recent listing of nonprofits in the South Bend region, please see information and links available at our Searchable Database.
Supplementary demographic and economic data on the South Bend community is available from the Indiana Business Research Center. Click on the following communities for information.
There is a growing list of websites with complementary county-level information. These include the following:
- Indiana Business Research Center: county overviews of demographic and economic information for the state of Indiana (select Delaware County).
- Pennsylvania State University: maps with county level economic indicators available from Amy Glasmeier (select the state of Indiana and then Delaware County).
- Census Scope: maps and charts with county demograpic data (select a particular type of data, click on the state of Indiana and then "change location" at the lower left corner to select Delaware County).
- Data Place: maps and charts with a variety of county level housing-related data (click on "build maps" and then type in Delaware in the search field at the top).
- Mumford Center at the U. of Albany: maps showing the distribution of census-related data by county (select a variable of interest in the upper left corner and then click on Indiana to see distribution across counties).
The data presented in the tables below are based on our comprehensive listing of nonprofits developed in 2001 and 2002 from project sources. These included the IRS list of tax exempt entities, Indiana Secretary of State list of nonprofit incorporations, phone listings of congregations, supplementary local listings, and personal affiliation survey data.
Based
on these sources, the South Bend region has a total
of 2,449 nonprofit organizations or about 111.9
per 10,000 residents (some may be defunct or otherwise inappropriately
included). We
report the density of nonprofit organizations (per 10,000
residents) for each area to allow comparisons of nonprofits
across region.

Classifying nonprofits into major categories further enhances
our understanding of the local nonprofit sector. Using the
National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE)
classification system, the project staff has tentatively classified
local nonprofits to show the composition of the region’s nonprofit
sector by major nonprofit field and by geographic area. The classification was based primarily on the names of the organizations and is known to be inaccurate, so the profile information below should be interpreted with caution.
