Individual New Englanders may not contribute a lot of money to charity, but a lot of New Englanders do give, a new study of giving suggests.

Previous studies of charitable giving have suggested that New Englanders give less than residents of other regions. The new report found that was true, based on the tax return data commonly used. This report said New Englanders who contribute to charity give, on average, $1,694 a year versus a national average of $1,894."
