“The numbers for this fiscal year indicate that since 2002-03, we’ve experienced a 206% increase in the number of online gifts and a 292% increase in total online giving dollars raised. We raised $259,408 in online gifts in fiscal 2004-05 compared to $44,398 in 02-03. Obviously the big thing is the overall numbers, but we’ve also seen a huge growth in the average gift amounts. Another area of significant growth is matching gifts, where this year we've seen a 50% increase and raised the largest amount in matching gifts in University history.” Francine Cronin, Associate Vice President for Annual Giving, Emory University |
