Network for Good celebrates $400 million in donations for U.S. charities

May was a historic month for Network for Good as we surpassed $400 million in online donations to more than 65,000 nonprofit organizations since our inception in November 2001.

We are seeing great momentum in online giving: this milestone comes just over six months after we celebrated reaching $300 million in donations processed. Recent reports from Blackbaud and Convio also show that giving continues to recover online and off – especially for smaller organizations.

This trend spells good news for our customers, many of whom are smaller nonprofits already seeing similar results online.

While online giving is still only a fraction of total giving, nonprofits who embrace online outreach and fundraising programs now will be well positioned as online donation processing growth continues full speed ahead. This is especially relevant for charities seeking to cultivate a new generation of donors who grew up in the digital age.
