The 10-year annual growth rates from 1996 to 2006 for each non-profit sector are used to create projections that describe what the non-profit landscape will look like in each county in year 2016. Comparisons are made between the current and future non-profit landscape, and some possible drivers of the variable growth rates are discussed. I find that there is a noticeable connection between the size of the local economy and the growth of non-profit sectors within them over time. I also find that the growth and success of the non-profit Health sector is an important indicator for the
