GIVING STATISTICS

A widely-held perception is that corporations and foundations are the
biggest sources to tap for grants and donations. The reality is that four
out of five or *80 percent of philanthropic dollars are contributed by
individuals* and bequests. That *rises to 87 percent if you include family
foundation giving*. Corporations and foundations are easier to target. Their
contribution of 5 percent and 14 percent respectively was 19 percent of the
total philanthropic dollars in 2010. Individuals are more of a challenge to
reach and solicit, but are by far the largest philanthropic resource.
