Seven of nine cause areas saw overall dollar growth, with Arts, Culture, and Humanities growing fastest (+9.3%) even as growth for a typical organization in this category was roughly flat (-0.1%) — suggesting that growth is concentrated among a few large arts organizations.
Environment and Animals and International, Foreign Affairs both show the opposite pattern — overall dollars are flat-to-declining (-0.1% and -4.7%) while the median organization in each grew (+7.2% and +2.4%) — meaning a handful of large or declining organizations are dragging the sector-wide number away from what a typical org in each cause area actually experienced.
