Title: “Giving in an Election Year: How Political Giving Impacts Nonprofit Support”
Organization: Blackbaud
Summary: Contrary to a belief widely held by charity fundraisers, donors who give to political campaigns during a presidential election year do not on average cut back on their charitable giving during that period.
Blackbaud, a fundraising-software company, compared Federal Election Commission data with contributions to 143 national charities from just over 21 million households. Households that gave to political campaigns in 2012 donated 0.9 percent more money to charities that year than they did in 2011, the study found. By contrast, other households cut their charitable gifts by 2.1 percent in 2012 compared to the previous year.
