Online Giving Surpasses $3 Billion In '04
Online donations in the U.S. in 2004 exceeded $3 billion -- up 58 percent from $1.9 billion in 2003 --
according to a recent study by technology provider Kintera and Luth Research.
The survey results indicate that more than 8.6 million U.S. households gave online donations in 2004. Results also show that more than 65 percent of all donors visit at least one of the websites of the nonprofit organizations or fundraising events to which they give.
A report by the Chronicle of Philanthropy released this week showed similar findings, reporting that online donations to the USA's biggest charities surged 63% last year from 2003, as the tsunami relief effort and Howard Dean's presidential campaign underscored the value of Internet fundraising.
