The nonprofits "serve critical needs in communities across the state, especially as we have one of the fastest-growing populations in the country," FNA President and CEO Sabeen Perwaiz says in a press release.

"The sector is planning for the future thanks to research like this."

Perwaiz notes Florida is the only state in the country that has this level of data available for nonprofits.

The data sets include the transfer of wealth taking place in the state, the giving occurring in the state, and growing generosity in those under 45.
