Giving Trends via Nonprofit Times

NPT Instant Fundraising: "Positive revenue growth during the fourth quarter of 2006 might signal an end to the post-tsunami and post-hurricane declines that have dominated charitable revenue trends during the past year. But more money is being raised from fewer donors.

According to the Quarterly Index of National Fundraising Performance by Target Analysis Group in Cambridge, Mass., the increase in giving related to both disasters was large enough to create a noticeable lift in median revenue for the entire national index in 2005. Throughout much of 2006, after the immediate effects of the tsunami and hurricanes on giving subsided, index revenue and donor numbers declined."
