Show Me the Money!!!
Every year, a comprehensive study of charitable giving is published by the Giving USA Foundation in a book called Giving USA. This is a very useful tool for anyone raising funds or giving to nonprofit organizations, and I highly recommend it.
In 2010, $290.89 billion dollars were donated; of that, only 19% came from corporate and foundation grants. That is still a lot of money, but what about the 81% that comes from individuals? Healthy organizations draw income from several sources, and individual giving is critical to a well-rounded development plan.
