GivingTuesday Raises $3.6 Billion
The 2024 GivingTuesday event raised an estimated $3.6 billion, a 16% year-over-year increase. More people than ever in GivingTuesday history participated this year, with 36.1 million people making gifts this year, up 7% from 34 million in 2023 but still less than the 37 million who participated in 2022. Giving of goods and volunteering also increased markedly this year, with 12.9 million people giving goods, an increase of 32% from 2023, and 9.2 million people volunteering, an increase of 4% from 2023.
Benevity, a GivingTuesday Data Commons partner, announced that More than $140 million was donated this year through the Benevityplatform, a GivingTuesday Data Commons partner. The most popular causes that companies and individuals contributed to included St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, American Red Cross, and Doctors Without Borders. PND, 12-6
DAF Assets: $250 Billion, and Counting
Total contributions to donor-advised funds dropped 21.7% in 2023, while grants made to charities from those funds declined 1.4%. The 2024 DAF Report, from the National Philanthropic Trust, looked at the DAF landscape using data for the 2023 fiscal year. While contributions to and grants awarded from DAFs were both down, assets held within the funds grew 9.9% to $251.5 billion, according to the report.
While the total amount doled out in grants declined from $55.5 billion in 2022 to $54.8 billion in 2023, that was in real dollars. The figures do not account for the 4.1% inflation rate in 2023.
Assets in DAFs grew from $228.9 billion in 2022 to $251.5 billion in 2023. This growth is likely why the non-inflation-adjusted grant total didn’t decline much in 2023, says Mitch Stein, head of strategy at Chariot, a donor-advised funds payment company.
The report also notes that the average DAF account size rose from $129,000 in 2022 to $141,000 in 2023. Experts all say that number may be somewhat skewed because the dataset was big and likely included outliers.
As nonprofits head into the year-end giving season, the report’s findings can offer some useful guideposts. For example, real-dollar giving was similar from 2022 to 2023, but inflation played a big role in nonprofit’s finances. So charities should talk about the impact of inflation with donors. COP, 11-15
