What We’re Learning
The story of American generosity in 2025 is not one of decline, but of resilience under considerable pressure. The 2025 data make a case that generosity in America is less fragile than headlines suggest, and more responsive to conditions that we can actually influence.
Despite a decrease in donor numbers, we’ve seen fundraising stabilize with a 3.7% increase in dollars raised. Dive into the latest trends and data insights to boost your fundraising efforts.
Everyday giving can work for any nonprofit, regardless of size, age, cause area, or location. The majority of the 300+ surveyed organizations find everyday giving engagement worthwhile. Deepening community relationships and building trust underpin the best practices for both fundraising and volunteer engagement.
