Analysis
NAICS 813219 is the 2022 national industry for other grantmaking and giving services, part of 81321 (Grantmaking and Giving Services). Census lists 5 example activities under it in the official index.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 25% and employment rose 16%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
County Business Patterns counts 5,018 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 41,324 people at an average annual payroll of $64,297 per employee (42nd percentile of national industries). 68% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
