CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Eighty-five percent of affluent households gave to charity in 2022 with the value of their average gifts rising 19% above pre-pandemic levels, according to the 2023 Bank of America Study of Philanthropy released today. The study found that affluent households gave an average of $34,917 to charity in 2022, up from $29,269 in 2017, though less than the $43,195 they gave in 2020 when giving levels peaked in response to needs created by the pandemic and an increased awareness of racial and social justice issues.

Key Points: 
  • Affluent volunteers are highly motivated to respond to needs (64%) and by the belief that their service makes a difference (57%).
  • Almost a quarter (22%) of affluent households overall use a structured giving vehicle, such as a donor-advised fund, family foundation or charitable remainder trust, to meet their philanthropic goals.
  • Still, the overall number of affluent households giving to religious organizations has declined sharply to 39% in 2022 from 47% in 2020.
  • The 2023 Bank of America Study of Philanthropy: Charitable Giving by Affluent Households is the latest in a series of studies that have set the benchmark for research on the giving practices of affluent households in the United States.
