Our community needs help and charitable givers are stepping up to heed the call.
Despite the challenges we’ve faced as a community in the midst of a global pandemic, last year’s charitable donations were the highest year ever on record, according to Giving USA, the most comprehensive and long-running report on charitable giving in America. Charitable giving reached a record $471 billion in 2020, a 5.1% increase over the previous year.
