How Much Do Americans Give?

Published Categorized as JRP Blog Tagged , , ,

During this time of giving, I wondered how much Americans give each year. Charity Navigator gave a great synopsis of the Giving USA 2018 (using 2017 stats) report, citing the following:

  • $410.02 billion were given to charity
  • 70% of that was given by individuals
  • Religion and education continue to get the largest percentage of gifts (31& and 14% relatively)

See the synopsis at https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&cpid=42. Of course, we at JRP much appreciate your donation by December 31!
