Philanthropic Giving Index

The Philanthropic Giving Index (PGI) reveals current trends and future expectations in American philanthropic giving. The PGI measures attitudes about the philanthropic giving climate twice yearly. The overall fundraising climate remained fairly stable for the second part of 2007. The Philanthropic Giving Index is 88.8, which is a 1.5 percent increase from six months ago, and 1.5 percent increase from last year. The December 2007 PGI study also reports on the increasing success with various forms of planned giving.

The full PGI report is available to premium service members of the Center on Philanthropy or available to purchase separately.

The Philanthropic Giving Index (PGI) is sponsored in part by The Association for Fundraising Professionals and The Association for Healthcare Philanthropy. For questions or copies of the report please contact Reema T. Bhakta at the Center on Philanthropy, 317-278-8996, rtbhakta@iupui.edu.
