Donating to charity is a part of American life. According to the World Giving Index, the United States is the most generous country in the world, and has been for the last decade when they launched the study. The index includes three types of giving: helping strangers, volunteer work, and donating money. The last report was based on surveys with 1.3 million people from 128 countries.
