Small businesses give generously to charity, with three-quarters of small-business owners in a recent survey saying they donate a percentage of their profits to nonprofit organizations.
On average, small companies contribute 6 percent of their profits to charity, according to the study, which was conducted by American Express.
The survey was based on interviews in August with more than 750 people who lead companies that have fewer than 100 employees.
Companies with the highest revenues were the least generous, with just 69 percent of companies that earn more than $1-million contributing a percentage of their profits to charity.
