Upward trends
Social Sharing
Social Sharing has “traditionally” been
used to generate awareness for causes
and campaigns
• 15% of respondents reported “sharing”
that they’d donated via a social network
• Rises to 25% among 25-44 year olds
14. #psyofonlinegiving
Caution!
• 1 in 5 of respondents did not notice the charity they were supporting
• Possible causes:
• Just donating to a friend
• Likely using a 3rd party website
• Lack of information about the charity/campaign
• Little to no follow up for online donations (lack of data?)

We’re not a large charity, so for us the personal touch
is really important to keep our brand in the minds of
our supporters and keep them close to the
organisation. Blackbaud Heroix helps us do this, which
in turn will change short-term fundraisers into long-
term supporters of the Charity
- David Rees,
Fundraising Manager at Hope for Children

donation process?
• Start to Finish – across all mediums
• How easy is it to learn more about your charity or
cause?
• Are you able to reinforce your message with updates on
campaign success/results?
• How up-to-date is your website?
• How accessible is your website?
• Mobilisation
• Less adept users
