Profiles: Evansville
To develop solid information on nonprofits in the Evansville metropolitan area (here including Gibson County) 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 Evansville area data in our separate series of reports on Indiana nonprofit employment.

Comprehensive Listing of Nonprofits in the Evansville Metropolitan Region
The Evansville metropolitan community includes Vanderburgh, Posey and Warrick Counties, although we include also Gibson County. For our most recent listing of nonprofits in the Evansville region, please see information and links available at our Searchable Database.
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 Evansville region has a total of 2,800 nonprofit organizations, or about 98.6 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.
