I heard this author on NPR last night. He wrote a book on the state of charitable giving in the US. I just ordered it - so this is more for information than endorsement. However, in the interview he confirmed what I already knew from experience. Some of the things he mentioned were: - Conservatives tend to give much more than liberals. The inference is that liberals tend to rely more on government programs to solve societal issues. - Government programs can sometimes have the opposite effect by impeding private donors from giving to causes. - The most stable form of income for a non profit is through private donors. - America gives a TON of money. Interesting... You can see the book here.
