The distinction between corporate America and the nonprofit sector gets blurrier in this report, which ranks the 100 most powerful brand names among America’s nonprofits, with YMCA of the USA atop the list.
The rankings, compiled by marketing firm Cone LLC and UK-based brand evaluator Intangible Business, combined the organizations’ 2007 revenue, measurements of brand image and projected future growth to determine the top 100.
