Some Philathropic Industry Food For Thought

Percentage of Population that Volunteer 25% 25%
Percentage of Women Who Volunteer 29% 29%
Percentage of Men Who Volunteer 23% 23%
Americans are Twice as Likely to Donate Than any Other Country 100% 100%

It’s easy, amid press stories about the projects of large foundations or corporations, to forget that the vast bulk (80%) of American philanthropy is carried out by individuals. Between individual donations and bequests in wills, personal gifts come to over four times as much, every year, as what behemoths like the Gates, Ford, Walton, etc. foundations plus corporations give away.
