Free Upcoming Opportunity from Giving USA

With 50 years’ worth of trend information, Giving USA provides a broad national picture of changes in funding patterns over time. It is an excellent source of data about charitable giving that estimates how much was given by four different types of donors – individuals, foundations, estates (bequests) and corporations – Giving USA also reports on estimated contributions for 10 different types of charities. These donations reflect the priorities and values of Americans who support not-for-profits.

The information you’ve been waiting for if…
Your work involves advising donors, fundraising for not-for-profits, researching charitable giving in the United States, or providing access to material about how much Americans donate to charity. Specifically, this information proves useful for trustees, philanthropists, financial advisers, giving officers, volunteer not-for-profit leaders, executive directors, and fundraising professionals who will find this Giving USA briefing helpful in benchmarking fundraising expectations against long-term national trends.
