The World Giving Index report found that in 2012:
1) The United States reclaimed the top spot in the World Giving Index rankings due to the high proportion of Americans reporting that they helped a stranger.
2) Giving behaviors such as donating, volunteering, and helping others increased globally from 2011 levels despite slower global economic growth.
3) Myanmar and Libya were among the new entrants in the top 20 rankings, with Myanmar having the highest rate of donations and Libya having high levels of people helping strangers.
The CAF World Giving Index looks at how and why people around the world give to charity. In this, the eighth edition of the CAF World Giving Index, we’ve collected data from 139 countries, which represents an incredible 95% of the world’s population.
The report includes questions about three different types of giving behaviour, with each country ranked according to their answers to:
. Helping a stranger
. Donating money
. Volunteering time
The CAF World Giving Index is the world’s leading study of global generosity. It is based on surveys carried out in 145 countries throughout last year which ask people (aged 15 and over) whether they have donated money, volunteered time or helped a stranger in the past month. By measuring these three basic kinds of giving we get a simple, but universally understood, picture of generosity across the world.
The document is a report on the 2014 World Giving Index, which analyzes charitable giving behaviors around the world. Some key findings:
- The United States and Myanmar share the top spot in the Index, with the US scoring highest across all three behaviors and Myanmar driven by high donations related to Buddhist traditions.
- Giving behaviors are impacted by events like natural disasters, as seen by Malaysia's rise in rankings after helping neighbors affected by a typhoon.
- Helping strangers continues to be the behavior growing most worldwide, especially in developing countries, highlighting personal interactions in philanthropy.
- Youth unemployment may be impacting declines in donating money globally, though women donate more than men
Myanmar tops the CAF World Giving Index for the first time, securing the top spot for volunteering time as well as maintaining its first place ranking for donating money. At a global level, donating money is up since last year, though the actual number of people giving has decreased due to lower participation rates in large countries like India and China. For the first time since 2008, men are now slightly more likely than women to donate money globally.

Wide Open Spaces: Schooling in Rural America TodayJeremy Knight
Rural communities and schools face many challenges but also have significant assets. While rural areas on average have higher poverty rates and lower incomes and education levels than urban areas, there is great diversity among rural communities. Some rural areas, particularly in parts of the Midwest and Great Plains, have higher rates of economic mobility than urban areas. Rural schools have common challenges like declining enrollment and transportation issues but vary widely. Overall, focusing only on challenges overlooks the strengths of rural communities, including strong social networks, civic engagement, and local commitment that can help drive meaningful change.

This document discusses racial inequalities in health insurance coverage, income, education, and their interconnected nature in the United States. It notes that in 2009, over 20% of black Americans lacked health insurance compared to under 12% of whites. Regarding income, the median household income of black Americans in 2014 was $35,398 compared to $60,256 for whites, a gap of over $24,000. The document also discusses educational disparities, finding that black students who participated in Advanced Placement programs entered college with lower entrance exam scores on average than their white peers, though the gap narrowed in undergraduate grade point averages. It argues this cycle of inequalities stems from differences in economic and social backgrounds influenced by race.

This document summarizes and analyzes data on income inequality in the United States from 1972 to 2012 based on race and gender. The summary discusses four key points:
1) The data shows significant income inequality between men and women as well as differences based on race. Incomes have generally increased over time but are becoming more rigid.
2) The data provides evidence of crystallization in American society as wealth is concentrated among white and Asian men.
3) Several theories on the causes of inequality are discussed, including functionalist arguments that inequality is necessary for society as well as claims that inequality results from political choices and the exploitation of lower classes.
4) Gender also impacts social standing and inequality according to theories

Volunteers are an untapped resource for fundraising. Many organizations do not properly engage their volunteers, but 40% of donors were previously volunteers. Segmenting volunteers into groups like major gift prospects and monthly donors allows targeting them separately. Storytelling that creates empathy for beneficiaries can motivate first-time gifts from volunteers. Communications should be tailored to different volunteer segments through diverse formats beyond just in-person events. Properly managing and recognizing volunteers can improve retention and conversion to donors.
This document discusses strategies for engaging volunteers and converting them to donors. It notes that volunteers are an existing pool of prospective donors, as 40% of donors were previously volunteers. Segmenting volunteers based on their capacity and communicating tailored asks is important. The document emphasizes using storytelling and impact reporting to connect with audiences emotionally and motivate volunteers to make their first gift. It suggests diversifying communication formats beyond in-person events to engage more volunteers. Overall, the key message is that nonprofits should better manage and recognize volunteers to improve retention and increase volunteer-to-donor conversions.

The document emphasizes using storytelling and impact reporting to connect with audiences emotionally and drive volunteers to make their first gift.

This document discusses strategies for converting volunteers into donors. It notes that donors are decreasing while existing volunteers represent an untapped pool of potential donors. The key is to segment volunteers based on their capacity to give and communicate with them separately. Storytelling that creates an emotional connection and illustrates the impact of donations is important for inspiring a volunteer's first gift. Non-profits are encouraged to better recognize and manage volunteers in order to improve retention and giving rates. Diversifying communication channels and providing multiple engagement opportunities can also help convert more volunteers into sustained donors.
Volunteers and donors are declining similarly and should be viewed as one pool. Nonprofits must focus on retention by ensuring both groups see the impact of their contributions and feel appreciated. Storytelling is key to connecting with potential volunteers and donors by using empathy and emotions. Diversifying communication channels and volunteer activities can also help with recruitment and retention.

Annual Report on the State of Philanthropy - Croatia 2013Catalyst Balkans
The 2013 Annual Report on Philanthropy in Croatia was the result of media monitoring (print, broadcast and electronic) of keywords related to domestic philanthropy during the period from May to December 2013.
Aaron Dorfman argues that foundations need to rethink their strategies and tactics to better help underserved communities. He notes that only one-third of philanthropic dollars are intended to benefit marginalized groups. As president of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy, he encourages foundations to fund advocacy, civic engagement, and political causes in order to leverage limited funds and create real change. Dorfman also stresses philanthropy's role in supporting resistance to the current administration's attacks on vulnerable populations.
This was created in my time at Kelton Global as the start to a larger project on "slacktivism." The goal of this piece was to provide insight into the effects of technology on charitable giving.

Fasfil 2010
No início do mês de dezembro, foi lançada a nova e muito aguardada pesquisa das FASFIL, que examina o universo das fundações privadas e associações sem fins lucrativos no Brasil, produto de uma parceria entre IBGE, IPEA, GIFE e ABONG, com apoio, este ano, da Secretaria-Geral da Presidência da República.
Até então, os dados mais recentes eram da pesquisa de 2005, que trazia um panorama de crescimento intenso do setor (215% entre 1996 e 2005), característica marcante do período pós-abertura democrática. Já havia sido antecipado que o período subsequente ao “boom” das organizações da sociedade civil seria de menor crescimento – estimativa confirmada pelos dados da atual pesquisa, que registrou um aumento de 8,8% entre 2006 e 2010.
Esta edição da FASFIL apresentou ainda uma melhoria na metodologia da pesquisa, que passou a considerar a mortalidade das organizações. Assim como no universo das empresas, muitas organizações existem formalmente, mas estão de fato inativas. Considerando esse fenômeno, existiam, em 2010, 291 mil fundações privadas e associações sem fins lucrativos no Brasil. Portanto, a aparente queda de 338 mil (2005) para 291 mil (2010) é de fato um crescimento modesto, já que o número de 2005 estava superestimado em cerca de 23%.
A edição 2009-2010 do Censo GIFE revelou que 82% dos investidores sociais pertencentes à Rede GIFE destinam recursos para a Educação. O relatório foi divulgado no último dia 24 e mostrou que, com um investimento total estimado em cerca de R$ 2 bilhões em 2010, as organizações que compõem a rede beneficiaram aproximadamente 24 milhões de brasileiros. O Censo GIFE é um mapeamento bienal que o Grupo faz sobre o investimento social privado (ISP) de seus associados. O relatório pode ser acessado na íntegra pelo site da instituição.
A publicação, que reúne dados de 2009 e projeções para 2010, ressalta que os 102 associados respondentes investiram no ano passado cerca de R$ 2 bilhões no país. Além da Educação, Juventude (60%) e Cultura (60%) concentram o maior número de investidores. É possível destacar também a área de Meio Ambiente, que recebia em 2007 investimentos de 46% dos associados GIFE e, em 2009, esse percentual passou a ser de 58% – o maior crescimento registrado no período (26%).
O GIFE
O GIFE (Grupo de Institutos, Fundações e Empresas) é uma rede sem fins lucrativos que reúne organizações de origem empresarial, familiar, independente e comunitária, que investem em projetos com finalidade pública. Sua missão é “aperfeiçoar e difundir conceitos e práticas do uso de recursos privados para o desenvolvimento do bem comum, contribuindo assim para a promoção do desenvolvimento sustentável do Brasil, por meio do fortalecimento político-institucional e do apoio à atuação estratégica dos investidores sociais privados”.

3. Foreword
Though the global recession of 2009 is thankfully behind us, the world economy continues to suffer
from low growth. But whilst analysts are somewhat circumspect in their assessment of the economic
outlook, confidence in charitable giving seems to be on the rise.
Despite a slowdown in the global economy in the year that the survey took place, the 2013 World
Giving Index has recorded a return to growth for charitable giving across all the areas we observe –
helping a stranger, giving money, and volunteering time over the same period.
Using Gallup World Poll data collected annually since 2005/06, we are able to gain a unique
understanding of charitable activity globally, revealing some interesting trends.
The United States of America once again tops the index, a position they last held in 2011 before
losing out to Australia in 2012. But the relative stability at the top of the World Giving Index rankings
belies a systemic shift taking place in global giving – rising engagement in developing nations.
Rising engagement across all three giving activities as well as growing populations sees India and
China at, or near, the top of the rankings in terms of the actual number of people giving in each
category. Populous developing economies such as Indonesia and Thailand feature strongly in the
top 10 countries for the proportion of people giving money, while the presence of Sri Lanka and the
Philippines in the top 10 for volunteering offers a glimpse into the potential future of global giving.
In light of this shift, CAF has launched a project entitled Future World Giving which will examine what
governments can do to facilitate the development of a thriving culture of philanthropy as the global
middle class expands and develops.
While a return to global growth in charitable giving is positive and the prospect of a growing culture of
giving in emerging economies should be welcomed, this is not a time for complacency. Although giving
levels have recovered, they are yet to reach their pre-recession heights.
I hope that this report helps to drive conversation about how we can create the conditions for all the
people of the world to engage in, and benefit from giving.

4. About this report
Background
The aim of the World Giving Index is to provide insight into the scope and nature of giving around
the world. In order to ensure that giving is understood in its various forms, the report looks at three
aspects of giving behaviour. The questions that lie at the heart of the report are:
Have you done any of the following in the past month?
n
Donated money to a charity?
Volunteered your time to an organisation?
n Helped a stranger, or someone you didn’t know who needed help?
n
Fieldwork is conducted by the market research firm, Gallup1, as part of its World Poll initiative2
that operates in 160 countries.
World Giving Index 2013
This fourth edition of the World Giving Index again presents giving data from across the globe
over a five year period (2008-2012). The World Giving Index 2013 includes data from 135 countries
across the globe that was collected throughout the calendar year of 2012. A full explanation of the
methodology used is included in the appendices.
World Giving Index ranking and scores
The method used to calculate World Giving Index scores remains identical to previous years. In order
to establish a rounded measure of giving behaviour across the world, the World Giving Index relies on
a simple averaging of the responses from the three key questions asked in each country. Each country
is given a percentage score and countries are ranked on the basis of these scores.
About us
Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) is a leading international charity registered in the United Kingdom
with nine offices covering six continents. Our mission is to motivate society to give ever more effectively
and help transform lives and communities around the world. We do this by working globally to increase
the flow of funds to the charity and non-profit sectors through the provision of philanthropy advice
and services.

5. Key findings and conclusions
The United States has reclaimed first place in the World Giving Index
In 2012, proportionally more Americans gave in some way than in any other country. The United
States has therefore risen again to first place in the rankings, a position it has traded with Australia
since the World Giving Index was first published in 2010. The key reason for this rise is that a higher
proportion of Americans helped a stranger than any other country in the world in 2012.
Giving has bucked a trend, growing in 2012
The average percentage of people donating money, volunteering time, and helping a stranger
globally all grew in 2012 in relation to 2011, despite a continued fall in the rate of growth of the global
economy from 4.0% to 3.2%.
Helping a stranger is the key to the rise in giving to charity
The overall rise in charitable activity has been driven by the increase in people helping a stranger
(47% in 2012 vs. 45% in 2011). In particular, there has been a three percentage point increase in the
proportion of men helping a stranger globally, up from 46% in 2011 to 49% in 2012.
The most substantial growth is in the number of people helping strangers
The number of people who helped others grew by over 200 million in 2012; more than double the
growth in the number of people donating money and volunteering. The use of such informal giving
mechanisms, to help those in need within their community, shows the importance of personal
interactions in philanthropy, especially in the developing world.
Global youth are driving the rise in volunteering
Since 2011, the biggest increase in participation in volunteering has occurred among 15-24 year
olds (from 18.4% in 2011 to 20.6% in 2012). This age group has gone from being the least likely to
volunteer in 2008 to the second most likely to volunteer in 2012.
Levels of giving remain below those recorded five years ago
Although there was an increase between 2011 and 2012 for each type of giving, the global level of
engagement remains below the highest on record. For donating money in particular, the 2012 level is
still behind the level seen in 2008. 2012 has been a good year for giving, but the hope must be for this
reversal to evolve into a sustained, upward trend.
Philanthropically, India and China have different strengths
More Indians donate money to charity in a typical month than anywhere else in the world. In 2011
this number had been measured at 163 million, in 2012 it stands at 244 million. India then has flexed
its philanthropic muscles in 2012. This is not to say that China is not a generous place. China’s strength
however lies in the 373 million Chinese who help strangers in a typical month, more than any other
country in the world.

6. Myanmar reminds us that giving is about more than just wealth
With 85% of the adult population saying they had donated money to charity in 2012 in the month prior
to being surveyed, Myanmar is in first place for participation in this behaviour. Indeed, the list of the
Top 10 countries most likely to donate money to charity includes eight countries not in the G20. The
World Giving Index continues to show that high incidences of giving – in all its forms – are to be found in
countries not commonly associated with philanthropy.
Women are established as being more likely to give money than men
Since 2008, women have become more likely than men to donate money to charity at a global level.
Meanwhile, the gap between the two genders in terms of propensity to volunteer remains the same
as it was in 2008, at 2.7 percentage points. However, proportionally, more men are helping strangers than
ever before.

7. Recommendations
Governments around the world should:
make sure not-for-profit organisations are regulated in a
fair, consistent and open way
n
make it easy for people to give and offer incentives for giving
where possible
n
n
p
romote civil society as an independent voice in public life and
respect the right of not-for-profit organisations to campaign
ensure not-for-profit organisations are transparent and
inform the public about their work
n
n
e
ncourage charitable giving as nations develop their economies,
taking advantage of the world’s growing middle classes

10. 1 Global view
1.1 The World Giving Index Top 20
The United States is ranked first in this year’s World Giving Index (Table 1), reclaiming a position it
previously held in 2011. Its score of 61% is the highest on record.
The United States’ return to the top of the World Giving Index is due mainly to the fact that helping
a stranger is more commonplace here than in any other country in the world – when asked, 77% of
Americans said they helped somebody they didn’t know, up from 71% in 2011. The United States ranks
third globally in terms of volunteering, and 13th in terms of donating money.
Unusually, three countries tie for second place this year: Canada, Myanmar, and New Zealand. Australia,
which was the highest-ranked nation in both 2010 and 2012 reports, has dropped to seventh position in
the rankings but has retained strong figures for giving.
Other countries featuring in the Top 10 are Ireland (5th), the United Kingdom (6th), the Netherlands (8th),
Qatar (9th) and Sri Lanka (10th).
Myanmar, last surveyed in 2006, is the highest ranked new entrant this year in the World Giving Index
Top 20. Its joint second place in the World Giving Index is mainly due to an extraordinarily high incidence
of donating money – 85%.
A country where approximately nine out of ten people consider themselves Buddhist3, it is the only
country surveyed where more than four out of every five people asked said they had given to a good
cause within a month of the interview.
Another new entrant, the State of Libya, appears in the Top 20 for quite different reasons. In a typical
month, almost three quarters (72%) of all Libyans helped somebody they did not know – the third highest
level across all 135 countries surveyed. This echoes a pattern observed in previous World Giving Index
reports for countries in a post-conflict phase, such as Sierra Leone and Liberia, to receive high scores on
this measure.
Analysis of data covering the five-year period 2008 to 2012 (Table 2) shows that seven countries are
included in the equivalent Top 20 that do not appear in the Top 20 for 2012 alone. These are: Denmark,
Germany, Liberia, Luxembourg, Sierra Leone, Thailand and Turkmenistan. These countries have strong
historical associations with giving, but either were not surveyed in 2012, were displaced by new entrants
or were not found to have levels of engagement in 2012 in line with previous years.
Only five of the countries appearing in this Top 20 list are members of the Group of Twenty (G20), this
group is made up of 19 of the world’s largest economies plus a representative from the European Union4.

helped a stranger, rose worldwide in 2012.
As in previous years, the three giving behaviours continue to tend to move in tandem. However, in contrast
with previous years, giving levels and the global economy have moved in opposite directions. Giving levels
rose between 2011 and 2012, while the global growth rate of GDP slowed from 4.0% to 3.2%.
The average proportion of people donating money in countries surveyed in 2012 was 28.5%, an increase
of 1.3 percentage points over 2011. The next highest increase was in volunteering time, up by 1.4
percentage points, to 19.7%. But the largest increase was in the incidence of helping strangers, up by 2.4
percentage points.
Additional analysis has been done to understand how these fluctuations in percentages have affected
actual population numbers (see Figure 2). Naturally, this data echoes these increases in percentages, with
the number of people helping a stranger globally rising by around 200 million, and the number donating
money and volunteering time both increasing by over 80 million.

15. 2 Three giving behaviours
2.1 Helping a stranger
2.1.1 Top 10 countries for helping a stranger, by participation and population
The two tables below show the countries with the highest percentage of people helping strangers and the
countries with the highest number doing so.
Americans were more likely to help strangers than any other nationality in 2012, and the country also
boasts the third highest number of people who do so.
This list of countries with the highest incidences of helping strangers (Table 3) is markedly different from
the list in the 2012 report. Six of the ten countries were not in the Top 20 last year: Costa Rica, Nigeria,
Senegal, Syria, the State of Libya, and the United Kingdom.
Libya and Syria’s high ranking may of course reflect the impact of the civil wars they have endured
(although Libya could not actually be surveyed in 2011). Senegal’s rise in the rankings is the most
remarkable, from 51st to 5th (from 50% to 68%). The United Kingdom is the only European country to be
included in this Top 10 list.
China and India, the world’s most populous countries, top the list of countries with the highest number of
people helping strangers. The remaining two ‘BRIC’ countries – Brazil and Russia – are also in this year’s
Top 10 for helping strangers. Each month however, more people help strangers in China than do so in the
three other BRIC countries combined.

16. 2.1.2 Helping a stranger and gender
Between 2011 and 2012 there has been a marked increase in the likelihood of both men and women
helping strangers. In both cases, the increase is in the region of two percentage points.
In the case of men, the current level of 48.6% is the highest score in the current five year view. In the case
of women, the current figure is the same as the highest previously recorded figure, in 2010, of 45.8%.

17. 2.1.3 Helping a stranger and age
Figure 4 shows that between 2011 and 2012, all age groups enjoyed an increase in the proportion of
people who have helped strangers in a typical month.
For three of the four age groups, the increase between 2011 and 2012 was around two percentage points.
For the 35-49 year age group the increase was even higher, at 3.5 percentage points.
Since 2008 the gap between the two ‘middle’ age bands of 25-34 and 35-49 has consistently been very
narrow. For the first time since 2008, the percentage for the older 35-49 year old age group has surpassed
that of the 25-34 year old group. Notably, this is the first time that any age group has surpassed 50% on
any measure.

18. 2.2 Donating money to charity
2.2.1 Top 10 countries for donating money, by participation and population
Table 5 shows the ten highest-ranked countries in terms of the percentage of people who donate money
to charity in a typical month, and Table 6 shows the ten countries with the largest actual number of
people donating money.
The people of Myanmar are currently more likely to donate to charity than any other country in the
world, with 85% of residents doing so in the month before interview. The incidence of donating money
in Myanmar is nine percentage points higher than second-placed United Kingdom – which is one of only
four G20 countries to appear in this Top 10. Malta, the Mediterranean island nation with a population of
just over 360,000 adults, completes the Top 3. Although the United States stands at the top of the overall
World Giving Index rankings, it does not feature in the list of ten countries with the highest incidence of
donating money.
Table 6 shows that more people donate money to charity in India than anywhere else in the world.
Although the country’s adult population remains smaller than that of China (870 million vs. 1,100 million),
more than double the actual number of people give in a typical month there, a difference of over 100
million people. The United States and China are the countries with the second and third largest numbers
of people who said they had donated money.

19. 2.2.2 Donating money and gender
Since 2008, there has been a shift in the balance between men and women, and their propensity to
donate money to charity.
Prior to 2009, more men gave money to charity than women. In 2009 the two genders were equally
involved in giving to charity. Since then, proportionally more women have been found to give than men.
This trend has continued into 2012, and with a marginally greater difference than was shown in the
World Giving Index 2012 report. On average, 28.7% of women in a typical country give to charity in a
typical month, 0.9 percentage points ahead of the equivalent figure for men (27.8%). Last year, the gap
between the two genders stood at 0.8 percentage points.
This shift towards women being more likely to give than men comes despite a reported worsening of the
imbalance between men and women in terms of global employment5.

20. 2.2.3 Donating money and age
At a global level, the older we are, the more likely we are to give money to charitable causes. This has
been the case since the World Giving Index was first published in 2010.
Although this remains true in 2012, the gap between the 50+ age group and the others has narrowed,
as this age group experienced the slowest rate of increase in participation between 2011 and 2012. The
average percentage of people aged 15-24, 25-34 and 35-49 donating money to good causes all rose by
over one percentage point. In contrast, the increase for those aged 50+ was just 0.4 percentage points.
It will be interesting to see if the gap continues to narrow in future reports or if it once again widens, as
has happened previously.
Although this increase in the incidence of donating money across all age groups is a positive finding, a
sobering observation is that each age band’s level of engagement in donating money remains between
one to three percentage points lower than 2008.
Nonetheless, this analysis of the last five years paints the same picture – of younger people ‘catching up’
with their older peers. Since 2008 the average percentage of the over 50s donating money has fallen by
3.3 percentage points, but the fall for those aged 15-24 is only half as great, at 1.7 percentage points.

21. 2.3 Volunteering time
2.3.1 Top 10 countries for volunteering time, by participation and population
The ten highest-ranked countries in terms of the proportion of people who volunteer time are shown in
Table 7, alongside the equivalent Table 8 showing the ten countries with the highest number of people
volunteering.
At 57%, Turkmenistan is the only country in the world where a majority of the population say they
volunteer in a typical month. Two of Turkmenistan’s neighbouring countries – Tajikistan (ranked 7th) and
Uzbekistan (ranked 10th) feature in this year’s Top 10 again, albeit with lower percentage scores than
were observed in 2011.
The United States is the third-ranked country in terms of percentage, but second-ranked in terms of
numbers, as shown in Table 8. In last year’s World Giving Index 2012 report, the United States had ranked
first in terms of numbers (106 million). A combination of India’s vast and growing population, and a sharp
increase in its proportion of people volunteering (from 10% to 18%) mean that India has surpassed the
United States, with as many as 157 million people volunteering in a typical month.
Indonesia is ahead of China in terms of the number of people who volunteer in a typical month, despite
its far smaller population.
Russia and Brazil, the other two BRIC countries, also appear in this Top 10 for volunteering by population,
behind Nigeria, the Philippines and Mexico, but ahead of Germany.

Men remain more likely to volunteer time than women. The difference in the average percentage of
women and men giving was precisely the same in 2012 as it was in 2008 – 2.7 percentage points.

2.3.3 Volunteering time and age
People aged 35-49 remain the most likely in the world to volunteer. A key finding this year however is that
the youngest age group – 15-24 year olds – are now almost as likely to do so.
In 2008, 22.7% of 35-49 year olds in a typical country were found to have volunteered in the month prior
to interview. All the other age groups lagged behind this figure by approximately two percentage points,
and the percentage score for the youngest age group – 15-24 – was the lowest at 20.4%.
Since then however, the 15-24 year old group has risen to become the second most likely to volunteer, and is
now only 0.4 percentage points less likely on average to volunteer than the 35-49 year old age group.
Unfortunately, the 15-24 age group is the only one in the world where a higher proportion of people now
volunteer than was the case five years ago. All other age groups are now less likely to volunteer than in
2008, with all falling by approximately two percentage points.

24. 3 Continental comparisons
3.1 Continental World Giving Index scores
Figure 9 contrasts the World Giving Index 2013 score for each continent with the average score over the
past five years. The purpose of the chart is to expose any long-term trends. If the one-year score is higher
than the five-year score this suggests an increasingly positive giving environment, and vice versa.
For each continent, the one-year score is similar to the five-year score. However, given that even one per
cent of the population of a continent represents millions of people, these small differences should still not
be ignored.
The two continents that see a one percentage point drop in their one-year score over their five-year score
are Oceania and Africa. These, then, are the continents where the giving environment may be said to
be deteriorating. The other continents all saw increases. The one-year score in Asia was one percentage
point higher than the five-year score there, while in the Americas and Europe, the score for 2012 was two
percentage points higher than the five-year score.
Oceania remains by far the most generous continent. However, unlike the other continents, all of whom
are comprised of at least twenty one nations, only two (Australia and New Zealand) of the twenty three
countries and territories in Oceania are surveyed in a typical year. Nonetheless, this high figure of 57%
stands as a compliment to the strength of civil society in these two countries.
The other continents are relatively more closely bunched together; all continue to lie within a ten
percentage point range. Echoing the conclusions in the 2012 World Giving Index report, it should be of
concern that Africa, the continent with the lowest score, is one of only two that has a lower one-year
score than its five-year score. Nonetheless, the situation in Africa can be said to have improved since the
previous report, when the one-year score was a full three percentage points inferior to the five-year score.

25. 3.2 Continental giving behaviour scores
Figure 10 explains how the people of different continents are generous in different ways. Three continents
have relatively similar profiles; the other two are unique in their own ways. In the Americas, Asia and
Europe, helping a stranger is around twice as commonplace as volunteering, and donating money lies
somewhere in between the two.
Africa is unique in that levels of volunteering and donating money are identical, meaning that the
generosity in this continent is far more to do with helping one’s community informally.
Oceania is unique in that it is the only continent where helping strangers is not the most common giving
behaviour. Here, more people donate money in a typical month (67%) than help strangers (66%).
The incidence of donating money in Africa is around half of what it is in the Americas, Asia and Europe,
and around a quarter of the level seen in Oceania.

37. Methodology
This report is primarily based upon data from Gallup’s World View World Poll6, which is an ongoing
research project carried out in 135 countries in 2012 that together represent around 94% of the world’s
population (around 4.9 billion people7). The survey asks questions on many different aspects of life today
including giving behaviour. More detail on Gallup’s methodology can be viewed online8.
In most countries surveyed 1,000 questionnaires are completed by a representative sample of individuals
living across the country. The coverage area is the entire country including rural areas. The sampling
frame represents the entire civilian, non-institutionalised, aged 15 and older population of the entire
country. In some large countries such as China and Russia samples of at least 2,000 are collected, while
in a small number of countries, the poll covers 500 to 1,000 people but still features a representative
sample. The survey is not conducted in a limited number of instances including where the safety of
interviewing staff is threatened, scarcely populated islands in some countries, and areas that interviewers
can reach only by foot, animal or small boat. In all, over 155,000 people were interviewed by Gallup in
2012 and samples are probability-based. Surveys are carried out by telephone or face-to-face depending
on the country’s telephone coverage.
There is of course a margin of error (the amount of random sampling error) in the results for each country,
which is calculated by Gallup around a proportion at the 95% confidence level (the level of confidence
that the results are a true reflection of the whole population). The maximum margin of error is calculated
assuming a reported percentage of 50% and takes into account the design effect.
Calculation of World Giving Index ranking
The percentages shown in the World Giving Index and within this publication are all rounded to the
nearest whole number. In reality though, for the analysis by CAF, the percentage scores are all to two
decimal points.
Due to rounding therefore, there are some occasions in the ranking of countries where two or more
countries appear to have the same percentage, but are not placed equally. This is because there is a
small amount of difference in the numbers to two decimal places. This also affects the calculation of
percentage point change across years, which is based on the actual figure to decimal places, rather than
the rounded number displayed.
