When it comes to giving away money, some may be surprised to know that African Americans are big givers. In fact, an article published by The Chronicle of Philanthropy found that African Americans donate 25% more of their discretionary income than Whites. Black Enterprise magazine reports that on average black households give around $1,600 to their favorite causes--not including tithing and church contributions. And a Chicago-based research firm found that in 2004, African-Americans gave away $11.4 billion in charitable contributions. Find out reasons to join the giving community and how to really make your giving count both for gift recipients and for yourself. (Host - Natalie Bullock Brown)
