I have plotted the reported donations and their relative annual growth.
The overall downwards trend of the growth is not encouraging. On the other hand, donations grew every year except for 2016 and 2022.
I have also plotted the number of GWWC Pledges and its relative annual growth.
There was an initial downwards trend, but it looks like it stabilised in the last few years. The mean annual growth rate between 2017 and 2022 was 19.7 %[1], for which:
The doubling time is 3.85 years (= LN(2)/​LN(1 + 0.197)).
The time to grow by a factor of 10 is 12.8 years (= LN(10)/​LN(1 + 0.197)).
