In 2020, about $471 billion in charitable donations were made in the United States. Simultaneously, there are more than 1.8 million (public charities) seeking support. Each year, the number of new public charities increases exponentially. Ironically, charitable giving has experienced a 2-year growth trend-withstanding COVID 19.
Our communities aren’t getting better in the face of rising crisis. The multitudes of those needing help are growing exponentially. Ingenuity Unlimited (IU) views this reality as a fundamental issue. With more resources than ever being available, why aren’t the challenges being met and solved?
