Jewish Philanthropy as a Part of Jewish Identity | eJewish Philanthropy: The Jewish Philanthropy Blog: "Jewish Philanthropy as a Part of Jewish Identity

According to a study just published in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, Jewish-American families are more likely than those of other faiths to give to charities focusing on basic needs such as food and shelter. The study, by economist Mark Ottoni-Wilhelm, was based on data from the 2001, 2003 and 2005 waves of the Center on Philanthropy Panel Study.
While the results may still hold true today, one wonders how a more timely analysis might have benefited fundraising professionals."

We had an idea that Jewish-American families are more likely than those of other faiths to give to charities focusing on basic needs and the study, by economist Mark Ottoni-Wilhel confirms that. All of us has a lot to learn from them.
