Record Charitable Giving in 2024

October 21, 2025

U.S. charities received a record $592.50 billion in 2024, an increase of 6.3% over 2023, driven by a strong stock market and healthy economy. Due to generous giving and lower inflation, this was the first year since 2021 that the increase in giving outpaced inflation. As in previous years, individuals led the way, accounting for 66% of contributions, followed by foundations (19%), bequests (8%), and corporations (7%).



Over the last decade, giving has risen each year in current dollars but has not always kept up with inflation. It remains to be seen how the uneven economy and volatile investment climate have influenced giving in 2025. Changes to the tax treatment of charitable contributions effective in 2026 may impact future giving.
