New Study: 60% of Americans Donate Money to Charity

Even though the U.S. economy is still recovering, the majority of Americans (60%) still give to charity, according to the Next Generation of American Giving study by Blackbaud. The study looked at giving habits and trends across four generations of donors – Matures (68+), Boomers (49-67), Gen X (33-48) and Gen Y (18-32). Unfortunately the economy has taken its toll on charitable giving as donations have remained flat. This trend is not expected to change anytime in the near future, said the survey. 

Can you guess which generation is responsible for the most charitable donations? Not surprisingly Boomers Give 43% of all dollars donated.
