- 29. The Cold, Hard Facts Overall revenue from nonprofits declined again in 2011. The median drop was 2.1 percent. Overall the number of donors for ALL nonprofits has declined over the last six years by 5.3 percent. Why? The number of new donors being acquired is shrinking. The overall number of New Donors acquired per year has declined 14.6 percent over the last six years. Donors are becoming more generous. BUT the Increase in Revenue Per Donor is still not compensating for the Declining Quantity of Donors. Across channels, 81 percent of all gifts last year came in via Direct Mail, vs. 6.4 percent coming Online, and 3 percent coming via Telemarketing. 2011 Target Analytics donorCentrics Index of National Fundraising Performance #MCcampaigns

The average online gift was $63, compared to $38 for Direct Mail and $39 for Telemarketing. 2011 Target Analytics donorCentrics Index of National Fundraising Performance #MCcampaigns

Plain and simple: We envision a world where every woman participates with full dignity as an equal member of society.” #MCcampaigns
- 40. The Center: Facts & Figures The Center was founded in June 1992. Our Founders wanted an organization with a global vision. The Center‟s mission: to use the law to advance reproductive freedom as a fundamental human right that all governments are legally obligated to protect, respect, and fulfill. The Center is based in New York City, but has offices in Washington D.C., Kenya, Colombia and Nepal. Docket load: 47 cases worldwide. Recent Successes: Oklahoma & Honduras In 2011, the Center raised $15,495,229 in financial support, 56% came from foundations and 39% from individuals donors. #MCcampaigns

There was no way to: Engage in online advocacy and grassroots lobbying Fundraise Share campaigns or engage supporters on social media Track information and evaluate statistics #MCcampaigns
