Blacks donate 25% more of their discretionary income to charity than do whites, according to a Chronicle of Philanthropy study. And 90% of that giving is to churches or religious institutions. A study by the Coalition for New Philanthropy found that blacks contributed slightly more than Hispanic- and Asian-Americans in New York City do. But secular black cultural centers, such as museums, are often overlooked."
