In our opinion: Preserving America's spirit of philanthropy | Deseret News

In our opinion: Preserving America's spirit of philanthropy | Deseret News: "To be clear, that tone is set by people of more modest means. Studies show they tend to give more to charity, as a percentage of their income, than do wealthier people. Salt Lake County provides a ready example of this. Utah often leads the nation in charitable giving, as well as in terms of time donated to help others. A breakdown of giving shows that in Salt Lake County, those earning less than $25,000 a year give on average 11 percent of their salary, while those earning $200,000 or more give 6.14 percent. This is a giving nation, and that trait must be defended and nourished."
