What is the incentive for people to donate or pledge funds to non profit organizations? Is it a connection to the cause or is it philanthropic generosity? Likely it is both and a lot more. In a record year of 2007, very large philanthropic donors, the Slate 60 gave $7.8 billion dollars to non profit organizations. But in a far more economically challenged year of 2008, the dollars doubled by the billions! In 2008 the Slate 60 gave $15.8 billion dollars!
Is it the cause or philanthropic generosity? How is it that the companies or people with the most are giving more than ever in the toughest of times? It matters not the reason, just so they continue to contribute to the greatest need of non profit organizations who dedicate themselves to cures and educational advances.
In a time when people are challenged by a hardened economy, people are still giving, not just by the hundreds or thousands, but by the millions and billions! Let Auction brio conduct a live auction, make more money with your silent auction. Bank on it because there are billions being donated each year!
