Nonprofit organizations have increased hiring by 14 percent in August of 2011 compared to August of 2010, according to a survey by Idealist.org, a nonprofit job search engine.

This growth is aligned with earlier findings that reveal 91 percent of the 3,000 nonprofit organizations surveyed expect to maintain their work force or hire new employees in 2011.

Respondents say late 2008 and much of 2009 was the worst economic period, but they now believe the worst has passed. Of the survey respondents, 42 percent feel optimistic about their respective organization's outlook this year, and even 47 percent expect to offer 1-8 percent salary raises in 2011.
