US online fundraising software companies Convio and Kintera report that they processed
$40 million and $53 million respectively in online donations for their clients during
2003.
For Convio this was a tenfold increase on the previous year and for Kintera
it was a sixfold increase. Nor is the increase due simply to more non-profits starting
to fundraise online. Wired quotes Convio CEO Gene Austin as saying that 70% of this
increase came from the activities of existing clients.

Successful clients include the Jewish National Fund which raised more than $1 million
via the Web in 2003, compared to $663,000 online in 2002 and $325,000 in 2001. Its
Web site has helped recruit 57,000 new donors in the past three years.

Convio’s system has been used by US presidential candidate Howard Dean to raise 
$11 million online during six months.
