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 <b><u>80 percent of philanthropic dollars are contributed by individuals</u></b> and bequests. That <i>rises to 87 percent if you include family foundation giving</i>. 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.</p>
