Oh boy, are you ready for this one? Each year, non-profits and NGO’s (Non-Government Agencies) handle roughly $3.7 trillion dollars. I had seen a post on X and thought it might be total BS and decided to do some digging for myself. Guess what? That $3.7 Trillion number? That’s accurate. That is the kind of money we’re talking about. What a racket!
This was Grok’s response:
US nonprofits and NGOs collectively handle roughly $3.7 trillion in annual revenue (and about $3.5 trillion in expenses/spending) in recent data.
candid.orgThis is the most commonly cited aggregate figure from sources like Candid (a leading nonprofit data organization), which draws from IRS filings and other records.

Now for the bigger question: How much of this is taxpayer money? Oh… just $1 Trillion. A year! A year!
Roughly 25–33% of the ~$3.7 trillion in annual nonprofit/NGO revenue comes from government (taxpayer-funded) sources, equating to approximately $900 billion to $1.2 trillion per year.
philanthropyroundtable.orgThis includes grants, contracts, and fee-for-service payments (such as Medicare/Medicaid reimbursements) from federal, state, and local governments.
Now call me reactionary or maybe just call me an idiot, but how about no. No more of this. How can something be called a non-governmental agency and be funded this much by taxpayers?
And here’s another kicker. They handle about $3.7 trillion a year, but say that $3.5 Trillion are spent on salaries! LOL!
Spending/expenses: Around $3.5 trillion per year, covering salaries (nonprofits employ ~12–12.5 million people), programs, operations, and more. A significant portion flows back into the economy via wages, procurement, and services.

What problem could possibly still exist if you were spending that kind of money truly trying to solve it? This is truly the greatest scam of all time in my opinion. What in the actual hell are we doing?
