NAICS 813990 · Religious, Grantmaking, Civic, Professional and Similar Organizations · SBA size standard: $13.5 million average annual receipts

Civic, religious, memorial, and community organizations manage recurring events, volunteer schedules, donations, facility use, seasonal programs and compliance paperwork. For a group that runs weekly services or meetings, monthly cleanups, annual galas and grant cycles, the specialists turn inquiries into bookings, volunteer sign-ups into rosters and task lists, donations into tracked receipts and reorders, and event plans into permit checklists and supplier orders. The board or lead organizer confirms all public communications, expenditures, and filings.
