Americans abandoning faith linked to drop in charitable giving, analysis finds


(Worthy News) – Americans are giving less to charitable organizations and declining religious affiliation is contributing to the decrease, according to a new analysis of philanthropic trends.

The “Changes to the Giving Landscape” report released this month by the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and Vanguard Charitable shows that the number of adults who gave to charity dropped from 66 percent in 2000 to 53 percent in 2016.

The 66 percent figure held steady until the Great Recession — which spanned from December 2007 to June 2009 — after which it decreased sharply in 2010. [ Source: Christian Post (Read More…) ]
