In October, the Chronicle of Philanthropy published its analysis of charitable giving across America, county by county, metro city by city, and with comparison analysis to 2006. Arizona and metro Phoenix both ranked in the middle of the pack, which was surprising to many. Equally as surprising was the finding that during the Recession higher income Americans reduced the share of their income going to charitable contributions, while the rest of the population increased its share. What do these data mean? Are Americans becoming more charitable, or less? Should all Americans be giving more? And if they did, what would that mean for our communities?
