3 Reasons To Download The 2017 Charitable Giving Report
Published
As a member of the Blackbaud Community, you’re probably familiar with the Blackbaud Institute’s annual Charitable Giving Report, which offers the premier look at giving for the previous year. This is our 6th edition of the report, and there’s no shortage of valuable information, including overall, online, and mobile trends, key statistics on donors, and more!
But if you’re not convinced, here are 3 (more) reasons why you should download the Charitable Giving Report:
1. Make sense of 2017
2017 was a tumultuous year. From natural disasters to deep political rifts, more and more people started to get involved directly with the causes that matter to them. Many organizations have seen a huge influx of new donors, particularly when their causes are in the political spotlight. The Charitable Giving Report offers the first look into how these events shaped a positive change in giving and provides hope for the long-term health of the sector.
2. Dive into information the way you want to
Reading a report can seem like a daunting task, so this year we’re giving you alternative ways to absorb the information and making it easier to share the report on social media (#CGR17) or with your team members.
After downloading the report, you’ll be taken to a confirmation page with these additional download opportunities.
3. Build a strategy and benchmark your organization
The Charitable Giving Report offers context and information that can hopefully help advise and advance your fundraising strategies in 2018. You can also benchmark your organization by utilizing the Blackbaud Index, the source of data for the report, which has the most up-to-date information on charitable giving.
You can download the report here. I’d love to hear what you think about it and what trends are shaping your fundraising strategy this year!
