Title: The Index of Philanthropic Freedom 2015
Organization: Hudson Institute
Summary: The Netherlands has the world’s best policies to facilitate private giving, followed by the United States, Germany, Canada, and France.
The study assessed and scored 64 countries on philanthropy-related barriers and incentives, including ease of registering and operating civil-society organizations, ease of sending money and goods across borders, and tax policies such as deductions, credits, and exemptions.
Policies varied widely around the world. The country with the worst policies for private giving was Saudi Arabia. Qatar, the controversial choice to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and Nepal, recently ravaged by a 7.8-magnitude earthquake, scored only slightly better.
