Mark the average for the 31st. The system-wide average gift for all of 2006 was $127.80 (this is one of the numbers we'll be unpacking); the 27th through 30th are actually a little below that. But the last day of the [fiscal] year brings out the folks serious about their writeoffs, a population significantly overlapping that of people capable of major gifts.
There were 171 donations from $500 to $999 on the last day of the year, and 93 more of $1,000 or greater -- those two categories accounting 9% of the gifts yesterday. Another 332 contributions fell in the $200-$499 range.

Fundraising: Did You Get Your Nut?
03:04 PM Jan 01, 2007
We'll be delving into a lot more figures -- fundraising and otherwise -- from the DIA network in the weeks ahead, but a champagne (okay, okay ... vodka) hangover on New Year's allows time enough for a quick follow-up to last week's suggested push for donations:
The last five days of 2006 were the five givingest days in DIA's history.
Nearly 14,000 gifts for more than $1.74 million passed through DIA donation pages during that period, and that's despite the two last days of the year falling over a weekend, which typically muffles giving. Here's how it broke down:
| Day | Total Gifts | Total Given | Average Gift |
| Wednesday, Dec. 27 | 2865 | $340,213.16 | $118.75 |
| Thursday, Dec. 28 | 2091 | $256,298.41 | $122.57 |
| Friday, Dec. 29 | 3170 | $348,521.52 | $109.94 |
| Saturday, Dec. 30 | 2800 | $320,399.30 | $114.43 |
| Sunday, Dec. 31 | 3039 | $475,883.65 | $156.59 |
| Total | 13,965 | $1,741,316.04 | $124.69 |
