Does being wealthy make you more charitable?

[SecularMotion]

Each year, the average American family donates approximately 3.4 percent of its discretionary income to charity. Most of these charitable contributions are made from October to December, known as the “giving season” in the nonprofit sector.

So what inspires individuals to donate to charity?

Given the incredible cost to solicit donations – US$1 for every $6 collected – understanding the answer to this question is critical. The recent election means the stakes are even higher.

The United States is a world leader in contributions to foreign aid. Yet, there is uncertainty about Donald Trump’s stance on such contributions. The new administration may also provide less support to social programs, such as Planned Parenthood. As a result, it may be increasingly necessary for charities to step up and raise more money to support these key policy areas.

1. NO....AND DOUBLE NO.....sorry for yelling.....but I worked for the highest paid

faculty on campus.....and they were the cheapest on campus. Every organization showed who and what departments gave the most and the least for whatever events and causes they would have, and the highest paid department, College of Business, GAVE THE LEAST!!!!! Son of bitches......the most money made of any department and gave the least. So no the wealthiest in my experience don't give the most. Bastards..........

2. No

The more money people have, the more selfish they are with it. Just my opinion based on lots of observation.
