In 2010, 78% of nonprofits surveyed by NTEN who had raised money on Facebook raised $1K or less in 12 months. I was surprised to see these results because getting people to attend offline events is not a low barrier. Like other studies have noted, social networks like Facebook are not raising much money.

Online, we look for the same things we look for offline: connection to something genuine, and a way to share that connection with other people. It's the stories of people overcoming odds, of what happened to a neighborhood when something drastic changed, of how an environment is poised to bounce back from a disaster.

Charities that have traditionally focused on offline fundraising have also learned in recent years the importance of online giving. Compare that with a recent downward trend in donor acquisition using offline channels like direct mail. One could argue that offline might actually cannibalize online giving.
