INTERNATIONAL COMPARISONS OF CHARITABLE GIVING
November 2006
This report contributes to the understanding of charitable
giving in an international context by comparing levels of
individual giving within a number of different countries.
By measuring the charitable giving of countries against their
national wealth, giving levels are brought into a comparable
format. The findings reveal that only the USA’s charitable giving
is equivalent to over 1% of its GDP (Gross Domestic Product). The
UK is in second place with 0.73% of its GDP going to
charitable giving.
