The recent press-release headline by GuideStar and the National Center for Charitable Statistics is an auspicious one: "2010 Fundraising Results: The Worst May Be Over."
According to their October 2010 survey of over 2,000 charities and 163 private foundations, donations have been picking up compared to the same time last year, and nearly half the organizations expect their 2011 budgets to be higher than 2010. No one's rolling in dough yet, but it's nice to have some breathing room!
