Public Interest Registry and Nonprofit Tech for Good Debut Inaugural 2017 Global Trends in Giving Report

Key global findings include:

"Effectively engaging with donors is crucial – the lifeblood in some cases – for the NGO community to successfully achieve their mission," said Brian Cute, CEO of Public Interest Registry. "Insights from the report provide a valuable cultural examination, globally and within defined regions. But more importantly, the findings will assist NGOs around the world in understanding who, when and how to target the philanthropically minded within their country and beyond their borders."

Breakdown of donors in Europe:

"Examining donor preferences worldwide clearly showed an overwhelming response from donors in wealthy countries, which we believe is in direct correlation to the lack of technology tools NGOs have in developing countries to effectively engage their supporters," said Heather Mansfield, founder of Nonprofit Tech for Good. "Our hope is that future versions of this report will reflect a more diverse donor community, especially as internet infrastructure evolves enabling more donors to emerge from all corners of the globe."

Fielded earlier this year, the "2017 Global Trends in Giving Report" surveyed 4,084 donor respondents from 95 countries across Africa, Asia, Australia & Oceania, Europe, North America and South America, including gender, generational and ideological analysis.
