The Blackbaud Index recently reported that from February-April 2014, charitable giving in the U.S. grew 1.3% over the same period last year.
Blackbaud also monitored online giving—from February-April, there was a 7.9% increase in online giving over the same months in 2013.
While growth is good news, the rate of grow is bad news — for the same period last year overall giving increased 3.5%, and online giving increased 12.1%.
