Analyzing trends in the fundraising world is important on many levels. It lets you know what's happening in the industry, what that may mean for the future and how it compares to the past.

Demand for services is rising fast for charities around the world—faster than donations are expected to increase this year or next, according to a new report released today by Blackbaud, the software company.
Most of the 2,383 charities from 10 countries that participated in the survey told researchers that demand was rising.
This year, for this first time, voters of the 2010 Getting Attention Nonprofit Tagline Awards selected program, fundraising and special event tagline award winners, in addition to the strongest organizational taglines. The addition of these three new tagline types gave more organizations a chance to showcase their best efforts to engage their target audiences.
The 17 winners were selected from 70 finalists identified by our expert panel of judges. The finalists were drawn from 2,700 nonprofit taglines entered in the 2010 program.
