Dear John,
Today, the Fraser Institute published our annual study: Generosity in Canada: The 2022 Generosity Index.
It finds that the number of Canadians donating to charity — as a percentage of all tax filers — is at the lowest point in 20 years!
The percentage of Canadian tax filers donating to charity has fallen from 25.5% in 2000 to 19.1% in 2020.
The amount donated has fallen too – from a high of 0.72% of income in 2006 to just 0.49% in 2020.
Manitoba had both the highest number of donors and donated the highest percentage of its income.
Dig into the numbers and find out where your province placed here – and be sure to share the news with your friends and colleagues!
Sincerely,
Niels Veldhuis
President
The Fraser Institute
