Giving USA 2025: U.S. charitable giving grew to a record $592.50 billion in 2024, lifted by stock market gains

The 70th annual report reveals that giving to most nonprofit subsectors rose in 2024

Americans were more giving in 2024 than in 2023. Charitable giving surged to a record $592.50 billion in 2024, a 6.3% increase in current dollars. For the first time in three years, total giving outpaced inflation, fueled by a strong stock market and robust GDP growth. The 70th edition of the Giving USA report shows that this growth was led by significant increases in donations from individuals and corporations, with corporate giving reaching its highest level ever recorded. Four nonprofit subsectors—education, health, arts, culture, and humanities, and environment/animals—also hit all-time highs in 2024, even after adjusting for inflation.

Giving USA 2025: The Annual Report on Philanthropy for the Year 2024, is a publication of the Giving USA Foundation, 2025, researched and written by the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
