Donor Confidence Down, Report Finds

The most recent Donor Confidence Report by marketing research firm Campbell Rinker shows that donor confidence is the lowest since 2008.

According to the report, which was compiled from survey answers by 510 nonprofit organizations across every sector, the overall Donor Confidence Index (DCI) fell 3.2 points between June and August of this year to 86.5, the lowest score since December 2008. During that time frame, the DCI dropped in every sector, with political and advocacy causes, international relief and development groups, and faith-based charities seeing the steepest declines.
