Giving USA 2024 numbers are in, and they're not painting a pretty picture for the philanthropic sector. Despite a booming economy and record-high stock market gains, charitable giving took a nosedive in 2023. Here are the hard facts: 📉 Giving fell by 2.1%, despite a booming economy. 📉 Donor numbers dropped across the board, from everyday givers to mega-donors. 📉 Individual giving as a share of disposable income hit a near all-time low at 1.9%. As fundraisers, the ball is in our court. We have the tools and the insights to turn this around.
