Story Archives of 'charity'Changing The Way We GiveBy Virginia Prescott on Thursday, March 27, 2008.If you’re a regular listener to NHPR, you're most likely familiar with the public radio funding model. Almost half of our operating budget comes from listener donations, and a few times a year – like this week – we hold on-air membership drives. The scene here at the station is probably how you imagine it: volunteers sit behind a bank of phones and wait for listeners to call with financial support. It's a long-held tradition in public broadcasting. But things have changed a bit in recent years. More and more pledges to NHPR are made online. Just three years ago, only 12 percent of donations to the station came from the Internet. That number is now at almost 50 percent. NHPR isn’t alone. Technology is changing charitable giving in all sectors, and Stacy Palmer, editor of The Chronicle of Philanthropy, joined Word of Mouth to talk about how online giving has come of age.
