charity

In an ominous sign for charities, Americans say they will pull back on their giving in the coming year.

Would you give as much as you're currently giving to your church or charities of choice whether or not you were entitled to deduct the amount of the contributions from your taxable income?

The recession continued to affect how much Americans gave to charity last year, and the triple whammy of Superstorm Sandy, a national election and the looming fiscal cliff may cut how much we donate in the crucial final month of 2012, experts say.

According to a new report released by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, charitable contributions are higher in states that have larger populations of religious people.

Governments should expand incentives for Americans to give ever more generously to charitable groups.
