Editor's Notes
- Most get the information via their smart phone (77% surveyed use one), via websites, social media or e-newsletters. Not the mail (“snail mail”) or chance meetings.Most learn about events, volunteer activities or opportunities via Facebook (67%) or Twitter (28%). Many choose to “follow” the nonprofits/charities that interest them most.70% give online via a nonprofit’s webpage.It’s clear, we have arrived in a digital world, and connecting for younger people has become a daily (if not hourly or more often) activity. Philanthropy will be changed, and even more vibrant, as a result
