Organization: The Corporation for National and Community Service
Summary: The share of American adults who volunteered in 2015 continues to inch downward, a trend that has unfolded over the past decade. The study found that roughly one in four Americans volunteered last year through an organization, 24.9 percent, down slightly from the 25.3 percent who did the same in 2014.
Working mothers—and people age 35 to 44, most of the group known as Generation X—were most likely to give their time to charity. Thirty-six percent of mothers who have jobs outside the home volunteered in 2015. Generation X had volunteerism rates of 28.9 percent,declined the highest of all generations but down a full percentage point from 2014.
