Top 100 Charity Trends in 2013

Igniting interest in a cause is no small feat, prompting those within the philanthropy industry to pay close attention to all charity trends. This past year saw more creative takes on charity than ever before. Taking the celebrity-endorsed cause marketing pattern of 2012 a step further, 2013 was the year of celebrity-created charities.
