Giving USA: Giving Is Up! 4 Ways to Ride the Wave

Good news for fundraisers everywhere. Giving is up!

According to Giving USA’s 2016 report, which was recently released, giving is up across the board. Americans gave more than $373 billion dollars in 2015, breaking the record set in 2014.

This might be hard to hear, but if your organization didn’t meet its goal, it might be you. If your board members believe people aren’t giving or that fundraising is down, it’s them. The economy is no longer an excuse.

The fact is, people are giving—and more generously than ever before.
