October 28, 2010 -- Each year, CECP looks forward to reviewing The Chronicle of Philanthropy’s Philanthropy 400, a ranking and report on the nation’s largest charities based on levels of non-governmental funds raised.  CECP’s release of the annual Giving in Numbers report, a comprehensive analysis of corporate giving, provides a perfect opportunity to highlight how the corporate findings largely support The Chronicle’s primary conclusions, keeping in mind that corporations are only one of the non-governmental donors to charities.

August 10, 2010 --Yesterday, The Chronicle of Philanthropy and USA Today released their annual survey on 2009 corporate giving. As CECP mentioned in last year’s Giving in Numbers report, corporate giving professionals can benefit from the research of multiple organizations, provided those professionals are equipped to understand the differences among methods and findings. In the spirit of collaboration, CECP offers this comparison of the high level findings of CECP’s Corporate Giving Standard (CGS) data, which were released in early June, and the new report by The Chronicle/USA Today. CECP’s full analysis of 2009 corporate giving will be available in the Annual Edition of Giving in Numbers, scheduled for release in the fall of 2010.
