This Giving Tuesday, let's take a moment to reflect on a significant trend in philanthropy. Adjusting for inflation, charitable giving in 2022 saw a decrease of 10.5%, primarily driven by a reduction in individual donations. This reduction impacts nonprofit organizations that rely on these contributions to make a difference in our communities. As you consider your end-of-year giving, remember there are many ways to give, and even the smallest donation can make an impact.

Giving Compass works to bridge the gap between high-impact nonprofits and donors who want to make a difference. We are in the final days of our fundraising campaign with a $25k match.
