Reality Check: US Philanthropy Gains with Consumer Confidence | MNI

Reality Check: US Philanthropy Gains with Consumer Confidence | MNI: "I think we will see pretty solid giving in 2013," said Andrew Watt, chief executive of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, which represents about 30,000 fundraisers and the 1,200 organizations they work for, who together raise about one-third of the total charitable revenue in the U.S. "We are beginning to see a significant improvement in giving."

Preliminary AFP data show that about 60% of its members reported an increase in revenue of at least 5% last year, to a level that was 15% above that of 2010, Watt said.
