iGive (formerly eyegive), the innovative online fundraising service, has announced
its totals for 1998. Just by clicking, to quote iGive’s promotional material, the
average nonprofit raised $52.65 throughout the year. Not much, you might reasonably
think. But the most successful cause raised $16,738 during the year, over a quarter
of which was raised in the last 30 days of the year. Participating individuals raised
an average of $5 during the year, although the most active member raised $159. Over
30,000 people are now supporting 3,273 non-profits of their choice with their online
buying and browsing, at no cost to the member or to the organisation. iGive has 
shifted its emphasis to online shopping recently because “shopping helps our members
generate more money for worthy causes.”
