Early Findings
CCS Fundraising Surveys
An article published by
CCS Fundraising
on June 12, 2020, provided data about how COVID-19 has impacted nonprofit fundraising and specifically compared results from two recent surveys that it conducted.
A survey conducted by CCS Fundraising polled "
1,014 individuals
representing nonprofit organizations across sectors, track performance and perceptions between May 1 and June 1[, 2020]."
Among the respondents,
23%
experienced an increase in fundraising. That percentage marked an increase from the prior survey conducted between "between
April 1 and
May 1[, 2020]" when
14%
of respondents said that fundraising had increased.
Among the respondents from the May-June survey,
56%
said that fundraising had decreased. Though that is a significant level of decreased fundraising, it actually marked an improvement from the April-May survey when
63%
said the same.
Fidelity Charitable Survey
A survey conducted by
Fidelity Charitable
asked philanthropic individuals about their charitable giving plans, in light of COVID-19.
Among those surveyed,
25%
planned on increasing the amount of money they donate to charity.
Fifty-four percent
of the participants said they intended "to
maintain their giving
levels."
