Giving USA is out, and it says giving is up

Here’s some good news: According to the newly released Giving USA 2011, giving was up 2% (adjusted for inflation) in 2010 after two years of record decline, totaling $290B last year in the US.  Individual giving (73% of total giving) and bequests were way up, while foundation giving was flat. 

Corporate giving was up a surprising 9 percent (adjusted for inflation), fueled in part by in-kind corporate pharmaceutical donations.

Let’s hope the increase keeps up. This is a great sign for nonprofits!
