Earlier this month we asked Nonprofit Montgomery members about 2019 year-end giving. Here are some of the results.

The majority of respondents saw an increase in year-end giving from 2018 and the rest saw about the same level giving and/or a decrease. In response to what was the decrease in percentage in year-end giving, it ranged from 2% to 50%.

These are some of the comments on how year-end giving performed. 
  • a lot of donors complained about the number of emails/alerts they received during Giving Tuesday and said it was overwhelming.
  • It appears that we had far fewer donations in the 101 – 499 dollar range. Perhaps those are donors more impacted by the tax law change?
  • We had fewer individual donors this year but more $ donated. Also seeing Donor Advised Funds being utilized more now.
