More than six in 10 nonprofits in the St. Louis region reported meeting their fundraising goals in 2012, and 64 percent said they raised more money last year than in 2011, according to a survey conducted by The Rome Group, a local consulting firm serving the nonprofit sector.
The local results are consistent with national numbers from Giving USA that reported total charitable giving in the U.S. in 2012 was $316.23 billion. That represents an increase of 3.5 percent from 2011, or a 1.5 percent increase after adjusting for inflation. For more information, visit www.theromegroup.com.
