I was reading on a Indiana Univ. Philanthropy studies;

http://www.philanthropy.iupui.edu/news/a...g-usa-2013

88% of households contribute to charity. Nearly all households with income > $100,000 give to charity. The average annual household contribution is $2,213 while the mean is $870.

Or, the Wealth and Values Survey by PNC

"In addition, 83 percent believe that "those who have attained the kind of financial position I have" should continue to invest in private business and industry as the most efficient engine of societal improvement. At the same time, 70 percent believe they bear a special responsibility in society to help the less fortunate and 64 percent believe they should give substantial sums to charities to improve society."
