Utah, home to the nation's biggest Mormon population, is also the most charitable state, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy's most recent report that looks at giving as a percentage of discretionary income -- your income excluding essential expenses.
Americans are a charitable group, in fact the most generous in the world, according to the new Almanac of American Philanthropy. In a first of its kind survey, the Almanac found that Americans out-donate Britain and Canada two-to-one and nations like Italy and Germany 20-to-one. What's more, more than half of every single income class except those earning less than $25,000 donate to charity. The much maligned top 1 percent in the U.S. economy fork over one third of all donations made. Even in death. The wealthiest 1.4 percent of Americans are responsible for 86 percent of the charitable donations made at death, said the survey conducted by Public Opinion research. What's more, Republicans appear to give bigger gifts, but Democrats pour in the smaller donations in a big number.
