YourCause, an online resource designed to provide powerful online tools to facilitate
fundraising and volunteering, recently posted a great infographic focused on
where and why people donated their time and money in 2010/2011. Note that the
top motivators for giving included a personal or emotional connection to the
charity or being asked by someone they know well. Religious and educational
causes accounted for top categories to receive volunteer assistance. Not surprising given the current
recession, economic development was the top issue donors wanted addressed by
charities. Also, note that the ways in which donors choose to give appears to
be becoming more diverse with donors stating that they have made much greater
use of giving channels beyond sending a check in the mail.
Let’s see what 2012 brings!
