With uncertainty around federal funding for nonprofits, the role of corporate and individual donors has never been more crucial. Nonprofits will rely on sustained giving to continue to operate and offer vital support to communities – everything from food security, to health care, housing, and more. Here’s how we can work together to help sustain #nonprofits – who we all rely on to build safe, sustainable and just communities.

Nonprofits are an essential social safety net for the most vulnerable – both daily and in times of crisis. People sought out organizations they could trust and continued to show extraordinary generosity in 2024 – helping nearly 300,000 nonprofits, an 11% increase year over year. This growth reflects the deep commitments from companies and their people to support issues they care about, through #WorkplaceGiving and corporate matches – a trend we expect to see continue. Donations through the Benevity platform also grew by 8% in 2024, but the real story is the need for sustained giving to address global issues. Here are giving trends on the rise: ➡️  Human rights support increased, with noted post-election spikes and a surge in support for groups like Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the ACLU. ➡️  Long-term crisis support wanes as attention does. Companies can lend their ongoing support through grants or employee giving campaigns that can make a big impact. ➡️  Hunger and food-aid nonprofit support remained consistent, but demand outpaces donations. ➡️  Support for health and cancer charities rose. Five of the top 20 nonprofits globally were health-focused in 2024. When looking ahead and deciding where to share your support, consider what data from the past year teaches us. Here’s a closer look at the top nonprofits – and what drove giving behavior globally and regionally: https://bit.ly/3EsGQ2M #Nonprofit #CSR #CorporateGiving #CorporateSocialResponsibility #SocialImpact

We surveyed 500 senior leaders to find out. 76% of companies are expanding CSR investments despite today’s uncertainty. Why? Because purpose-driven strategies are proving essential for employee retention, business resilience, and stakeholder trust.
