Southern or Midwestern, Geography Does Little to Influence Giving - Philanthropy.com

Southern or Midwestern, Geography Does Little to Influence Giving - Philanthropy.com: "Southern or Midwestern, Geography Does Little to Influence Giving

Money and education, not geography, influence why people give to charity, says a new study by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University.

The study, based on data from 10,000 households, found that people who make at least $100,000 a year are more likely to give because of an obligation to help others less fortunate, or a desire to improve the towns and cities in which they live."
