World Giving Index 2024

The existence of generosity and civil society is a constant in all societies. Our World Giving Index offers a unique insight into how people engage in social activities for the benefit of their communities and to champion the growth of global giving.

First published in the wake of the global financial crisis in 2010, this long-running study has given us the opportunity to look into the scope and nature of giving around the world.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is big news. It represents a potential step-change in how all of us do our jobs, but what this looks like in practice is still at a very early stage.
