This report closes out May 2020 and marks three-months since the onset on the coronavirus pandemic in the US. There have been ups and downs, but May ended on a high note with strong performance across each nonprofit sector. Giving behaviors and trends are beginning to emerge, unique to each sector. It was another week where revenue in the health sector was driven by donations, as average gift dipped a bit. That sector and the arts and culture sectors will be interesting to watch in the coming weeks. This updated impact report includes 2019 and 2020 transactions from February 1 through May 31. The next report with the first week of June will be available Monday, June 8.
