'Cautious optimism' regarding Arizona nonprofits

Like most of us in this economy, nonprofits are struggling to make ends meet.

But a new report out today from the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits, says things may be changing for the thousands of nonprofits in our state. The Alliance interviewed 173 of the 21,000 nonprofits in Arizona. According to a spokeswoman for the group, 57 of those interviewed are from Pima County.

The Alliance says the tone of its report is "cautious optimism," but some local nonprofits say that statement alone is a bit optimistic.
