AUSTIN, Texas – A recent report from the World Giving Index shows that Americans are among the world’s most generous people, ranking No. 5 out of 140 countries, yet not all states are equally altruistic.

A study conducted by WalletHub determined the most charitable of the 50 states by comparing them across fourteen key indicators of charitable behavior. The methodology of the study included time spent volunterring and charitable giving factors.

U.S. donors in 2016 gave more than $389 billion to charity, with 72 percent of the funds coming directly from individuals, according to the National Philanthropic Trust. Nearly 63 million people volunteer in the U.S., serving a combined total of 7.9 billion hours per year, which is the equivalent of $184 billion of service.
