Donor Email and Evangelicals

Our newest research report is You’ve Got Mail: Evangelicals and Donor Email. We explore how much donor email evangelicals actually receive from non-profits and ministries, how much they actually read, and what they do with it. Time to explode some more myths…

Giving Myths

Our latest update on giving and generosity among evangelicals – 2025 finally leveled off after multiple years of decline. Plus, we look at volunteerism, political giving, and the impact of digital church on church support. Check out The Generosity Landscape.

Raising Givers

We long ago discovered the single greatest predictor of someone becoming a donor is how they were raised. Our new report Raising Givers looks at how parenting influenced generous behavior, such as giving and volunteering, in today’s donors.

The Core Audience of Christian Media

Evangelicals use Christian media – a lot, and in many formats. We examine what they think of Christian media, how they use it, what reputation they feel it has outside of evangelical circles, and what they most want from it.

The Average American Donor

Our new study examines the generosity of the average American donor. It’s nowhere near as high as they think it is – and Protestants are the most likely to mentally inflate it. We also examine the reasons donors are not more generous.

Donor Patterns in Giving

Our latest study of American donors explores the patterns we see in how they give, and how they prefer to give: planning vs. spontaneity, research vs. gut feel, group vs. individual, appetite for innovation, and more. Get our brand new report!
