Latest Trends in Giving

The Barna Group has a new study out on the latest trends in charitable giving.  Here are some of the key bullet points I came away with:

  • Less than 5% of Americans tithe (give away at least 10% of their income).
  • Evangelicals were most likely to tithe (24%).
  • Conservatives were next at 12%.  Where are the “bleeding hearts?”
  • Liberals, agnostics and atheists all gave less than 1% to charitable organizations.
  • Protestants are four times more likely than Catholics to give 10% or more.
  • Christians are the most generous givers.

What surprises you here?
