According to a January 2012 poll by The Annual Giving Network, annual giving is up at most organizations. 54% of the participating organizations claimed to be tracking ahead of the same time period last year, while 33% of the organizations claimed to be tracking behind. 13% are recording no change at all over last year.
Having recently closed the books on the holiday giving season (a time when most individuals make their charitable donations), the poll suggests some reason for optimism for many organizations amid a still uncertain economy.
