Preliminary estimates suggest that the third annual #GivingTuesday effort on December 2 resulted in online donations of some $34.9 million plus additional offline contributions totaling $10.8 million. The estimates, which are expected to rise significantly as offline donations are processed, were compiled by the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy with support from the Case Foundation. Initial results show that total gifts were up by at least 63 percent over last year’s #GivingTuesday levels.
