Our only saving
grace is that the 3.1 percent of LGBT Americans that do give are handing out
more per donation.
The annual National LGBT Movement Report by
Movement Advancement Project examines financial health of 36 organizations –
including GLAAD, ACLU, GLSEN, The Trevor Project. etc. – and represent 75% of
budgets from all LGBT social justice organizations. Their 2016 release
approximates $188.7 million in contributions over the previous calendar year.
Other key
findings include:
— The total
number of people who gave $35 or more to a participating organization
represents approximately 3.1% of the total number of LGBT adults in the U.S.
–Fourteen
participating organizations experienced revenue declines, with the average of
these organizations experiencing a 20% revenue decline.
— Participating
organizations reported a total of 286,987 donors who donated at least $35 in
2015. Of these, 270,419 donated between $35 and $999, 16,171 donated between
$1,000 and $24,999, and 397 donated $25,000 or more.
— Daily cash
expenditures increased 4% from 2014 to 2015 to a cumulative average of $446,400
per day for the 36 participating organizations who reported this data. This is
a five-year high for these organizations.
There will be a
lot of blame game comments but my only concern is:
Which LGBT
organization can you commit to giving a $50 donation in 2017?
