As reported in last month's release of the Charitable Giving Report, overall giving grew approximately 2% for full year 2012 and online giving grew by about 11% in 2012 compared to 2011. Tracking approximately $8 billion in US-based charitable giving, the Index is updated on the first of each month (or the next business day) and is based on a three-month moving average of year-over-year percent change.
