For a bit of context, the organizations participating in the studies
generating these data are predominately outside of higher education. And
the average annual donation amount for the 13,601 organizations
participating is just over $1,000. According to the study, "One reason
this average is relatively low is because many large organizations with
proprietary software or 'enterprise' systems are not participating in the
survey."
As a comparison, the VSE data as of 6/30/2018 indicated a nice 7.2%
increase in philanthropic giving to higher education.
