Difference in Giving 2014-2016
Giving to ministry is becoming more digital.
“74% of Americans say they write no more than one check per month.”1
9 Millennials give differently.
10“Millennials are spending — and giving away their cash — a lot differently than previous generations, and that's changing the game for giving, and for the charities that depend on it.”2
Every organization and ministry is competing for charitable dollars
11“There are over 1.5 Million 501(c)3
Many people are starting to direct their giving through donor advised funds
12“Donor Advised Funds are a great way to engage Boomers in charitable giving.”
70% of Americans do not have a current estate plan
Churches are beginning to realize the opportunity awaiting them from estate gifts.
