(Worthy News) – Both charitable giving and religious beliefs have declined in the past two decades.
A report from the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and Vanguard Charitable found that the number of Americans donating to charity decreased from 2000 to 2016, the most recent year of available data.
