Poorer Brits Give More Generously, Study Finds

Lower-income Britons donate a higher proportion of their income than higher earners, says Third Sector Online, citing research by two major U.K. nonprofit associations.

People earning less than $51,000 give more than 1 percent of their income to charity, compared to 0.8 percent for those who make $83,000 or more, according to the U.K. Giving 2011 report by the Charities Aid Foundation and the National Council for Voluntary Organizations.
