Indian River Community Foundation A vibrant nonprofit grantmaking foundation with a powerfully simple mission of building a better community through donor-driven philanthropy.

Indian River Community Foundation’s business is philanthropy. We are in business for three reasons:

- To help individuals and families to organize and carry out their charitable giving, primarily through donor advised funds.
- To expand and deploy financial capital to improve the community, primarily through donor advised grants and other donor-supported discretionary grantmaking.
- To inspire individuals and families to create and leave a charitable legacy, primarily through donor-supported permanent endowment funds.

The 2026 Indian River County Nonprofit Market Report is out.

Since 2022 we have studied every nonprofit based in Indian River County to understand their number, their missions, and how they are funded. This year's report gives us a five-year picture of a growing sector serving a growing county.

Over the next two weeks we will share what the numbers say about the organizations doing the work here at home. Read the full report at the link.

Our non-profit sector's impact on the local quality of life is underestimated. Our Non-Profit Market Report reveals a multitude of metrics showing the impact of Indian River County's non-profit sector. You can view it by visiting https://ircommunityfoundation.org/resources/nonprofits/

73 percent of Indian River County nonprofits run on less than $1 million a year, and one in five operates on less than $100,000.

The median nonprofit here has annual revenue of $332,811, up 12 percent since the 2024 report.

The ten largest organizations account for half of all sector revenue. The other half is spread across more than 200 small, local, mostly volunteer-driven groups. Both matter.

898 nonprofits call Indian River County home.

That is up from 870 in 2024 and 832 in 2022. Most of the growth is coming from brand-new organizations formed right here, by neighbors who saw a need and decided to do something about it.

Of the 898, 218 are large enough to file a full tax return with the IRS. Those 218 are the organizations studied in the report.

We are so excited to announce the launch of the 2026-2027 Guide to Better Giving. We had a celebratory toast at Quail Valley to celebrate our accomplishments with many of the non-profits in Indian River County.

$449 million. That is the combined annual revenue of Indian River County's nonprofits, up 17 percent since 2022.

Together they also hold $854 million in net assets, the reserves that keep programs running when a hurricane hits or a grant does not come through.

The nonprofit sector is a real part of our local economy, not a footnote to it.
