This is the third edition of the World Giving Index, the largest study into charitable behaviour across the globe, involving 160 countries in total. The report is based on over half a million interviews conducted by Gallup since 2007, as part of their World Poll survey. The Index is based on an average of three measures of giving behaviour - the percentage of people who donate money to charity, volunteer their time, and help a stranger, in a typical month.

The report shows how this mirrors global economic patterns. Philanthropedia - find the most effective charitable foundations and donate like an expert. The hub of all charity donations online.
