Arizona Ranks 47th In U.S. Charitable Giving

Although Red states are more generous than Blue states, Arizona ranks 47th in U.S. charitable giving. With nearly a third of all annual giving taking place in December and the U.S. ranking second overall in this year’s World Giving Index, the personal finance website WalletHub conducted an in-depth analysis of 2015’s Most & Least Charitable States.

In the spirit of inspiring more Americans to increase their charitable giving this holiday season, WalletHub shined the spotlight on the most generous of the 50 states. WallerHub did so by analyzing eight key metrics such as volunteer rate, the percentage of taxpayers who donated to charity and growth in charitable giving.

In addition, WalletHub’s Charity Calculator helps donors decide how best to allocate their resources — based on their income and time — in order to maximize philanthropic impact.
