Post-Recession Charitable Pledges to Hospitals Slow, Jeopardizing Future Fundraising Efforts

Post-Recession Charitable Pledges to Hospitals Slow, Jeopardizing Future Fundraising Efforts: WASHINGTON, D.C., (March 6, 2012) – As the United States and Canada emerged from the Great Recession, charitable pledges to nonprofit health care organizations slowed in fiscal year 2010, jeopardizing the ability of health care systems in both countries to generate philanthropic funding necessary to meet their long-term, construction, equipment and patient needs. These and other findings were contained in two reports published by the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP) based on its detailed Performance Benchmarking Service survey of fundraising activities in both countries - which for the first time examined a full year’s post-recession fundraising by U.S. and Canadian health care organizations.
