Published by Web Desk Friday, April 15, 2016

Donating time or money to a charity is a great way to support a cause you care about. Americans give billions of dollars to charities every year. Religious organizations, educational groups, private individuals, social reform, and all sorts of different causes inspire Americans to stand up and pledge their hard earned money.

This infographic maps the United States, state by state, to look at which states give the most – both overall, and as a percentage of the average person's gross income. Looking at this map, you can see that there are many different ways to be generous. Residents of New York and California give some of the largest amounts to charity – but Utah and Mississippi residents give the most as a percentage of their income.

Even if you can't give a lot, every little bit helps! Below the map, you can see the top 30 charities in the US. Charities are organized by who earns the most through private donations, and which charities generate the most revenue overall. How does your state compare to its peers?
