This is a really good question, and it's one I get asked a lot when I visit federations.
My colleagues at Myers-JDC-Brookdale have done some really interesting research on this, and some of their findings are fascinating. For example:
A significant percent of Israelis have donated in the last 12 months to institutions or individuals beyond friends and family
68% of people age 20 or older reported donating.
72% of the 50-54 age group reported donating, making them the age group in which donations are most common. At least 52% of all other groups over age 20 reported making donations.
A majority of respondents in all income levels reported donating, although the percentage and amounts increase with income
The percentage of people who donate rises with income from 64% in the lowest income level to 85% in the highest income level.
Rate of donors varies among social groups
Rates of donation are somewhat lower among immigrants born in the former Soviet Union, and even more so among Arab-Israelis.
Donation amounts vary widely
68% of donors reported donating up to 500 NIS, while 17% reported donating above 1,000 NIS.
56% of donors in lower-income levels (income up to 2,000 NIS per month) reported donating up to 100 NIS a year.
34% of donors in higher-income levels (income above 21,000 NIS per month) reported donating over 1,000 NIS a year.
If you want more information and sources on these findings, message me, or contact my colleagues at Myers-JDC-Brookdale. If you want to receive this blog on a regular basis by email (about twice a week, depending on what else I'm up to), sign up in the top-right box where it says "follow" ...
