Everyone knows Washington is a world leader in online sales,
because we’re home to a thriving high-tech sector and great global businesses
like Amazon.com. But in Washington, we’re not just about
money-making.
The Puget
Sound Business Journal reports that a new study from Convio shows Seattle is the most generous city
in America when it comes to online charitable giving. Despite the economic
challenges inflicted by the global economic downturn, Seattleites made more
than 134,000 online donations worth a total of $17 million in 2011—a 44 percent
leap over 2010.
What is more, the average online donation from Seattleites
averaged about $125—nearly twice the national average of $65 per
donation.
It’s one more proof that Seattle is a great city with a big
heart.
