New Study Re-Examines Charitable Giving in the States
A new study by Boston College shows that states that previously reported to lag behind the nation in charitable giving actually have higher generosity levels than those indicated by a widely-touted annual index.
The study, conducted by researchers at the Boston College Center on Wealth and Philanthropy, recalculates giving levels which since 1997 had been annually evaluated by the Generosity Index, a widely used list that ranks all 50 states according to how much local residents give to charity, published by the Catalogue for Philanthropy.
