The National Safety Council is America’s leading nonprofit safety advocate – and has been for over 100 years. As a mission-based organization, we work to eliminate the leading causes of preventable death and injury, focusing our efforts on the workplace, roadway and impairment. We create a culture of safety to not only keep people safer at work, but also beyond the workplace so they can live their fullest lives.
This year, our employees championed the NSC values as they transitioned from a fully remote workforce to a hybrid workplace, allowing them to thrive whether in the office, remote or a combination of the two. Employee committees and cross-functional teams kept engagement up as they worked to address challenges in our focus areas.
Despite difficult hiring conditions during the ongoing pandemic, NSC continued to grow, adding new people whose critical skills and experiences align with our mission work.
As a mission-driven nonprofit organization, revenue from our programs, services and philanthropic donations fuel our advocacy work so we can help people live their fullest lives. For a breakdown of our financials, please explore the NSC 2021 Statement of Financial Position and NSC 2021 Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets.
NSC compiles Injury Facts®, the definitive guide on preventable deaths and injuries in the United States for nearly 100 years.
As a nonprofit organization, philanthropy generates new opportunities and sustains our relentless focus in making our world safer, from the workplace to anyplace.
In 2021, NSC received $5.7 million in philanthropic contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations wanting to make a difference. These funds support research to identify leading causes of fatalities, education to increase awareness and minimize risks, and advocacy to ensure the adoption of safety and incident prevention measures.
