Industry Definition & Overview
Other Grantmaking and Giving Services (NAICS 813219) encompasses establishments primarily engaged in raising funds for a wide range of social welfare activities, including educational, scientific, cultural, and health causes, through federated campaigns, community fundraising, and coordinated giving programs per the U.S. Census Bureau[4].

United Way organizations represent the most recognized example within this classification, operating community-based fundraising campaigns that distribute donations across networks of local nonprofit service providers.

Per Census Bureau[5] data, over 4,400 establishments operate in this classification employing roughly 36,000 workers in fundraising, donor relations, and grant distribution functions. The IRS[6] classifies most organizations in this industry as 501(c)(3) public charities subject to Form 990 annual reporting requirements.
