Gain insight into the nature of giving around the world
The World Giving Index is designed to provide evidence-based insight into the scope and nature of giving around the world. In order to reflect a culturally diverse planet, the report looks at three aspects of giving behavior. The questions that feed the report are:
Have you done any of the following in the past month:
- Donated money to a charity?
- Volunteered your time to an organisation?
- Helped a stranger, or someone you didn’t know who needed help?
Fieldwork is conducted by the market research firm, Gallup1 as part of its World Poll initiative.2
