Wyoming Nonprofit Network Sector Report - 14

When a community supports its nonprofit sector with time and generosity,
it commits to a
stronger future.
Wyoming ranks 24th in the U.S. and 5th in the West for rates of volunteerism, with 32.7% of
residents volunteering each year. According to Dr. Candi Clouse of IMPLAN, " not all productive
activity is actually included in GDP. Volunteer or unpaid work is not included as it is not only difficult
to measure, it has no explicit economic activity related to them that can be measured using I-O
analysis. However, the results of that volunteer activity as measured by other economic activity
related to the workers (additional tourism, increased productivity, etc.), then one can use that
activity as the input, claiming the value exists due to the volunteer work. "
