The correct answer is False.

Explanation:

In the United States there are 1.14 million nonprofit associations and this non-commercial sector represents 8.5% of GDP (against for example 4.2% in France).

These institutions employ 9.3% of the active population, which constitutes a world record. Americans give each year $ 250 billion to these institutions for non-profit purposes, and these donations are tax exempt. Of the amount quoted, approximately 36% goes to the different Churches, 13% goes to education, 8.6% to health, and 5.4% to culture (that is, the latter percentage represents some 13,000 million dollars annually). Cinema-art and the producers of experimental films, cultural foundations, ballet and their dance bodies, publishing houses (especially university), are some examples of non-profit associations in the domain of culture, which year after year They are supported by Americans.
