Giving back is always rewarding. So it is no shock to see Delaware ranked as a Top 10 most charitable state.
Wallet Hub ranked all 50 states on their charitable nature.
In order to come up with their list Wallet Hub said “In order to determine the most philanthropic states, WalletHub compared the 50 states across two key dimensions, “Volunteering & Service” and “Charitable Giving.”
Utah was ranked as the most charitable state in America. Delaware sits in the Top 10 coming in at #8.
Pennsylvania beat Delaware coming in at #7 and New Jersey was ranked #32 overall.
Maryland was ranked as the #2 overall Most Charitable State.
According to Wallet Hub “Americans do more than just reach in their pockets to help others, though. They also contribute their time — and plenty of it. Nearly 78 million people volunteer in the U.S., serving a combined total of 5.8 billion hours per year, the equivalent of $147 billion of service.”
So where does the United State rank as a charitable nation? Wallet Hub reports that we are the 19th most charitable nation in the world.
“U.S. donors in 2020 still gave nearly $485 billion to charity, with 67% of the funds coming directly from individuals, according to the National Philanthropic Trust,” the study says.
Delaware was tied for most charities per capita. The first state came in at #1 in those rankings tied with Vermont and Montana.
Delaware also ranked 9th overall in Volunteering & Service and 20th overall in Charitable Giving.
