Charitable Giving to Nonprofits Was Nearly Flat in 2012

Blackbaud released a Charitable Giving Report, featuring the sector’s first look at how nonprofit fundraising performed in 2012. The report draws from The Blackbaud Index, which tracks $8 billion in U.S.-based charitable giving on a monthly basis to provide the largest analysis of overall and online giving trends in the nonprofit sector. It found that overall giving continued its slow recovery and grew approximately 2 percent in 2012.
