The Rise of Charitable Giving – and Non-profits
On-line giving is the hot trend in non-profit donations
The end of 2010 saw a spike in charitable giving where some charities received as much as a 20% increase over 2009 levels. On-line donations are picking up steam with many companies averaging 15% of donations from on-line donors and according to Blackbaud research, online donations grew 49% over 2008 levels. Even with hot on-line growth, 2009 saw a 3.6% contraction in charitable giving and 2010 is forecast to be up substantially from 2009 levels. Popular donation techniques include smaller donation amounts collected more frequently and a surge in recurring donations collected on-line. 2CO can build you a platform for driving on-line donations to your non-profit organization.
