Book excerpt: The 6th in a series of biennial national surveys that report trends in giving and charitable behavior in the U.S. Acts as barometers of how socio-economic conditions and tax laws affect the charitable behavior of Americans. Also charts public attitudes about a variety of issues that affect the climate for giving and volunteering, and explores behavioral and motivational factors that influence giving and volunteering. Special attention is given to demographics. Therefore, over-samples of African-Americans, persons of Hispanic origin, and affluent households were included in the study in order to have adequate samples with which to trace the level of participation by these groups in giving and voluntary service.
