The ePhilanthropy Foundation estimates that total online giving in the United States reached approximately $6.87 Billion (USD), a 51% increase over 2005 estimates, driven by significant increases in online giving for both small and large organizations and the unprecedented use of the Internet by individuals for non-disaster and disaster support efforts. The United States represents slightly more than 50% of the world-wide giving online. Global giving is estimated to have surpassed $13.2 Billion (USD).

Online giving to the nation's largest charities continued its steep ascent in 2006, according to a new survey by The Chronicle. Electronic gifts to the 187 organizations that provided figures for 2005 and 2006 grew by 37 percent, from $880.7-million to $1.2-billion last year. Online gifts grew by more than 50 percent at 85 organizations. Of those, 34 saw Internet gifts more than double.
