In 2024, philanthropy in the U.S. reached an all-time high in current dollars, with total charitable giving rising to $592.5 billion. Fueled by strong economic growth and significant increases in individual and corporate contributions, giving surpassed pre-pandemic levels once again. Despite inflation and shifts in the broader political landscape, donors demonstrated remarkable generosity and commitment last year. Emerging trends, such as mobile giving and artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced fundraising, reflected the evolving ways in which supporters engage with causes, demonstrating both resilience and innovation within the industry.
