The given chart presents information
about the levels of donations made by US nationals of different age categories
between 1995 and 2015.
In 1995, a major part of
contributions towards donations came from people aged between 18 years and 50
years, in which, the highest percentage of donations – 45 percent – came from US
nationals aged between 36-50 years; followed by people aged between 26-35 years
– 35 percent; and 18-35 year old making a contribution of 17%.
By 2015, there was a sharp
decline in contributions made by people of these age groups to 35%, 27% and 12%
respectively.
On the other hand, the
inclination to donate among the older age groups rose in the corresponding
period. The percentage of donations from people aged between 50-65 years increased
from 35% to 42% , and the percentage of money channelized into charities, by
people over 65 years, registered a climb of approximately 6% (from 32% to 38%).
Overall, there was a decline
in donations in these two years, twenty years apart.
