From Patrick Sullivan, at The NonProfit Times:
The people of Seattle gave more online per 1,000 residents in 2013 than residents of any other city, at a rate of $53,542 per 1,000 residents. Residents generated $33.2 million from 201,502 donations. Those are some results from the Most Generous Online Cities 2013 report, produced by Charleston, S.C. software firm Blackbaud.
In all, nonprofits in the study raised $822 million online last year, a 61 percent increase from 2012’s $509 million. Blackbaud processed 8.3 million online donations in 2013, compared to 6.4 million the year before.
The report tracked online donations coming into nonprofits using Blackbaud products in 2013, and ranked them on donations per 1,000 residents in each of 265 cities. The per-1,000 residents metric was chosen to take into consideration population differences.
