“This was our best Giving Tuesday to date – we’re thrilled with the results!​”

Marie Michelson, Digital Director at Rainforest Action Network​

Now let’s look at some smaller (but very significant) numbers.

  • .8% thats the small bounce rate we saw on our email sends – far below industry standard and a testiment to our work with clients to improve email deliverability
  • $1.32 is the amount that the average gift increased over 2018 – while this seems small, when you average that over 62,681 donations it adds up – fast


Some of the most exciting details are in the speed and timing of things. Transaction numbers peaked between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM EDT where we were processing over $400,000 and over 5,000 transactions per hour. During this peak and throughout the day pages continued to load quickly and reliably and emails were deployed on time.
