"65% of survey respondents plan to make at least one gift online on a charity’s website this year. Age is an important factor here, not only because (as expected) most young donors (86%) will give this way, but also because the majority of donors between 35 and 64 will give online (69%) as will 53% of the survey’s oldest donors (65+), making 2011 our first survey year in which the majority of donors in every age category will give online."
