Giving to ECFA Members Exceeds National Trends

Giving to ECFA Members Exceeds National Trends: While the dominant headlines during the recession have focused on the decrease in giving to nonprofits, this is not the entire story.

Pre-recession giving compared to three years later was $6.18 billion in 2007 and $6.32 billion in 2010, or an increase of 2%.
