Jess Bachman (Wallstats) and Mint get into the Holiday Giving Spirit and whip up a nice infographic visualizing who gives to charities, how much, and who needs it the most.
Americans lead the world in charitable contributions, giving $300 billion a year to charities. Sounds like a lot right? But this is just a drop in the bucket compared to the over One Trillion Dollars needed to keep US charities in operation, more than the US government collects in taxes. The rest comes from their own assets, government support, and foreign investment. Our visual guide to giving shows who’s paying and offers some tips on how to pick a charity of your own.
