Ever wonder how your nonprofit compares in the online fundraising space?
The 2010 Online Giving Report from Blackbaud should be a big help.
Just published this week, the report includes some good stuff, including: 
- Average online giving growth rate is 34.7%. The story is even more interesting when you compare growth rates for small, medium, and large nonprofits…
- Small nonprofits grew on average 22.0%
- Medium nonprofits grew on average 15.9%
- Large nonprofits grew on average 55.6%
- Haiti played a key role in skewing several metrics. A more granular view of online giving growth by sector shows growth rates ranging from 7.4% (Health Care) to 130.8% (International Affairs).
- Bolstered by giving to Haiti, January outperformed December as a percentage of total giving – 18.4% of total online giving in January vs. 18.3% in December.
- More organizations are seeing larger gifts online – 88% received a gift of $1,000 or more in 2010 vs. 77% in 2009.
- Online giving as a percentage of total giving is at 7.6%.
How much does online giving make up your funding? That 7.6% number should give you a good benchmark to compare against. Or even better, the report includes this percentage broken down by sector. But you’ll have to download the report to find out!
