Charitable Donations? Who gives more?
Librals, Democrats, Independants, Republicans, or Consirvatives?
I am not looking for opinions, just facts.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

A gift made by an individual or an organization to a nonprofit organization, charity or private foundation. Charitable donations are commonly in the form of cash, but can also take the form of real estate, motor vehicles, appreciated securities, clothing and other assets or services.
Charitable donations often represent the primary source of funding for many charitable organizations and nonprofit organizations. In most countries, a charitable donation made by an individual will provide him or her with an income tax deduction.

I think the biggest issue is what you would consider a charity.
For example, if you consider a family's church "charity", then this would significantly raise the percentage of Conservative families who give to "charity".
Personally, I find that church contributions are no more charitable than paying dues at a racquet club or social group. The dues largely go to build facilities and throw events for the direct benefit of the congregation.
And this is but one example of how the ideas of "charity" can vary greatly, and how it is difficult to measure such things. Plus, I'd like to think that the best people in America give a lot in labor and money to real charitable causes without telling a soul about it - especially for the purposes of statistical data. You know what I mean?

Ok, Thanks.
I am religious and I consider that a charitable contribution because no one in my church is paid for any church related services they perform, and because my churches aid origination is usually the one of the first to provide major aid for disasters worldwide.
Are there any studies that look at charitable contributions not including church donations?
Are Liberals or Moderates more likely to think that the government should fulfill the role of charities?
I just want to open this up for discussion and hear everyone's opinion.
mm sorry don't know
Um, yes I know what a charitable donation is. The question is who gives more? Librals or conservatives?
