Blackbaud's statistics show charitable giving was up nearly 5% in 2013, spurred in part by "double-digit gains" for online donations.
"A new report from nonprofit software and services provider Blackbaud shows that giving is growing – especially online. Charitable giving revenue grew 4.9% in 2013, the largest gain since the 2008 recession. U.S. based organizations with annual fundraising over $10 million saw 5% growth. Those that receive $1 million to $10 million in gifts gained 3.8% and the smallest nonprofits – less than $1 million raised annually – grew 3.6%." -- Samantha Sharf, Forbes
