How many dollars do you contribute each year to charity? Not “in-kind” giving — I’m not talking about that pile of used clothing and stack of worn out paperback books you hauled down to Goodwill.
Nor the grocery sack of food you were wheedled into donating to your company’s annual Thanksgiving Charity Round-Up.
I’m talking about cold hard cash. The donation made on your credit card or the check that required your John Henry on the bottom line.
To examine this question let’s look at some demographics — your age, your religious preference if you have one, your annual income, and what region of the US you live in.
