The Blackbaud Index: Overall Charitable Giving to Nonprofits Increases 0.2 Percent

The Blackbaud Index provides the most up-to-date information on charitable giving today. Tracking more than $14 billion in U.S.-based charitable giving, the Index is updated on the first of each month (or the next business day) and is based on a three-month moving average of year-over-year percent change. Featuring overall and online giving, the Index can be viewed by size and subsets of the nonprofit industry via an interactive online chart. The Index now features a fundraising benchmark calculator that allows users to easily chart their own results against the Index and historical data to provide a fuller view of charitable giving.
