More statistics
In conjunction with Vancouver’s National Philanthropy Day breakfast held today, AFP and Ipsos-Reid released results from a poll that are very timely, considering my last entry about people’s self-reporting of their generosity. According to the poll, 94% of people in BC report that they make financial donations to charities at least once per year. That’s well over the 25% and 78% that I wrote about in the last entry. On a happy and more straight-forward note, 41% of people in BC think that charitable organizations are “very trustworthy” and 54% think charities are “somewhat trustworthy.” Only 4% think they are not trustworthy.
