Charitable giving in the United States declined in 2022 -- only the third time in four decades that donations did not increase year over year -- according to the Giving USA report released Tuesday.
Total giving fell 3.4% in 2022 to $499.3 billion in current dollars, a drop of 10.5% when adjusted for inflation. The decline comes at a time when many nonprofits, especially ones providing services to those in need, report an increase in requests for help.
