Nonprofit Information Resources
The
following are Internet links to information on fundraising, management,
starting a nonprofit business, and other interests to nonprofit
information seekers. The independent sector employs 10.9 million
workers, where health services represented the 49% of total annual
revenue in 1997.* Just less than half of the adult population
volunteered an average of 3.6 hours per week in 2000.** The Independent
Sector organization has placed an hourly value on the time volunteered,
which has risen from $15.40 to $16.05 in 2001, based on the average
hourly earnings for private nonagricultural workers (BLS), plus 12% for
estimated fringe benefits.**

What Personnel Department?
If you
are a small business owner and need information on employee
compensation and benefits, employer expenditures for employee
compensation, or labor law, you are not alone. Because each state has
its own set of guidelines on top of the federal regulations, these
issues can be complex. When the small business owner is responsible
for all human resource activities - from recruiting to firing -
locating the right information from the right source is of utmost
importance.
For
starters, contact your state's department of labor. These agencies are
anxious to provide employers answers to state-specific questions
regarding labor market statistics, overtime and prevailing wages, as
well as, cost-cutting measures for training and unemployment
compensation. A helpful listing is available at http://www.ahipubs.com/

The Pet Industry

with over 75 million cats and 59 million dogs. Since the Institute
began tracking the pet population in 1981, they have found that pet
dogs increased by five million, while pet cats have managed to "climb"
to 30 million and claim a record 34 percent of the households in the
U.S. Households for dogs remained at a constant 37 percent.
The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association (http://appma.org),

trade shows, manufacturers and importers, as well as trade leads with

The Hispanic Population
In the
year 2010, the Hispanic population will be the largest minority in the
U.S. The number of Hispanics in the U.S. will exceed the total
population of Canada, approximately 31 million. Today approximately one

The Tax Day Cometh!
Since April 15 falls on a Sunday, tax returns need to be postmarked no later than midnight on Monday, April 16, 2001.
Or do they? Taxpayers are allowed to file for an automatic four-month
extension (until August 15, 2001). Filing IRS Form 4868, available
on-line at www.irs.ustreas.gov/prod/forms_pubs, by April 16 will do
the trick. This will not get you completely off the hook, though. Taxpayers must pay any taxes owed when the extension is
filed or suffer possible penalties and interest.
Don't have the cash to pay on April 16? More and more taxpayers are using plastic to pay Uncle Sam. The IRS estimates that
approximately 6 % of taxpayers will pay using a credit card this year.
