Nearly 60 percent of nonprofits in Eastern Washington have decreased their services in the past two years because of financial struggles, according to a survey released this month.

“Despite positive fundraising trends, nonprofits across Washington are scaling back services,” said Aggie Sweeney, CEO of The Collins Group, a Seattle firm that conducted the survey. “Unfortunately, giving trends aren’t keeping up with the costs of delivering services.”

The percent of Eastern Washington nonprofits that had to decrease services was nearly double the statewide figure of nearly 33 percent. Sweeney said the study did not address why regional nonprofits may be faring worse than others in the state."
