Charitable giving in the United States declined in 2022 — only the fourth time in 4 decades that donations did not increase year over year — according to the Giving USA report.
Total giving fell 3.4% in 2022 to $499.3 billion in current dollars, a drop of 10.5% when adjusted for inflation. The decline comes at a time when many nonprofits, especially ones providing services to those in need, report an increase in requests for help.
Those 2022 donations came after two record-setting years for charitable giving, driven by the unprecedented needs of the COVID-19 pandemic, said Una Osili, associate dean for research and international programs at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University and the Giving USA report's lead researcher. It's a sign of continued generosity, though there are some areas of concern.
"We saw inflation rise and, with that, we saw more working-class individuals on our lines," said Shanice Brown, CHiPS development director. "Donations declined — and donated food as well — because as the price of things increase, people need more and so they donate less." Angela Bagriy, right, organizes lunch boxes at Community Help in Park Slope, a soup kitchen and food pantry better known as CHiPS, on Friday in New York. Charitable giving in the United States declined in 2022. The downturn in giving has led to issues at CHiPS, as it has in many charities across the country.
"I think we've seen a 37% increase in rental car prices and that translates to a cost we have to bear," said Perry, adding that Make-A-Wish has stepped up calls for supporters to donate their airline miles and hotel points in order to help stretch its funding. The foundation has also turned to partners in the travel industry for more help.
Decision makers for donations are "not mom and pop donors, they're wealthy individuals," Bergdoll said. "That is indicative of where the money is coming from now versus 30 or 40 years ago."
