Skeptics: "I don't like cycling. I prefer two-wheeled, human-powered, pedal transportation."
Another year and another set of the same boring takes from #GivingTuesday skeptics. If thinking about it as an appeal, then yes - most of the criticisms are valid. But those same criticisms can be laid at the feet of ANY appeal - transactional, generic, boring. BUT the data? 👇

MUST READ for every #fundraiser and #nonprofit.
And as I'm reading it I'm going "But did they talk to @withwoodrow?!?!"
They did. Really excellent discussion of giving, generosity, and the current realities.

Can't wait to dig in!
So proud and pleased to finally be able to estimate the generosity of the Indians we call ‘ordinary’ — in cash, kind and time to religious, non-religious, friends, family, staff and beggars. #philanthropy

Volunteering for nonprofits has followed its own unique two-year trend vs giving of money - increasing 7.4% in 2021 after a severe drop in 2020 yet remaining far below pre-COVID-19 levels in the USA.
Woodrow Rosenbaum retweeted
Giving happened broadly across all recipient groups - In the USA, giving to non-registered entities was over 2x more common than giving to registered entities; with most people giving to multiple types of recipients. Only 2.5% of people who gave, only gave money to nonprofits.

The giving ecosystem is far more complex and diverse than we generally realize. In fact, according to our research, over 76% of acts of generosity are non-monetary and 65% do not involve nonprofit entities.
Giving is not in decline. Let's talk about what we're measuring.
Our latest report is a deep dive into giving during 2021. Filled with trends + insights for fundraisers + generosity practitioners alike, the report lays the foundation for a rethinking of how the social sector understands – and cultivates – generosity. bit.ly/3OuJLIh
