How America Gives Data: Leaders and Laggards, Giving Opportunities, and More
How America Gives is an analysis of the giving patterns of Americans. The full report includes methodology, coverage of the findings, and field reports from various parts of the country here. Much of it is available only to Chronicle subscribers.
Here we examine giving by taxpayers who make more than $50,000 a year in adjusted gross income and itemize deductions on their income-tax returns. The analysis below divides these taxpayers into four income groups: those who earn $50,000 to $74,999; $75,000 to $99,999; $100,000 to $199,999; and $200,000 and more.
