Giving
How is generosity trending, and how does it compare with last year?
- Year over year
- Grouped bars. The x-axis is the period within the year (day, week, month or quarter) and the bars are this year against last year, so like periods sit side by side.
- Trend
- One continuous line on real calendar dates — best for spotting drift, one-off spikes and the effect of a campaign.
- Small multiples
- Turn on a breakout by campus or membership and you get one small chart per segment on a shared scale, instead of a tangle of lines.
Nothing on this page shows an individual donor. Every figure is an aggregate.
Example: reading a dip
March is down 12% year over year. Switch to Week grain — the loss is one week, not the month. Break out by campus and it sits entirely at one campus. That points to a missed service or a batch entered late, not a generosity trend.
