Does anyone know the latest estimate of what percentage of US/Western charity goes to poverty broadly and international poverty specifically?
A 2013 Dylan Matthews piece in WaPo cites a 2007 estimate. Googling isn’t helping much.
I may be writing an opinion piece for a major outlet and would love a more up to date answer (I’m guessing it wouldn’t change too much).
Perhaps it’s in the Giving USA Annual Survey? You need a subscription to access it though.
Hm yeah, I think the previous analysis was done on top of that report, so if anyone has access to it, it might be helpful.
Maybe René Bekkers can help you out? He’s the director of the Center for Philanthropic Studies at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. They focus on EU + Dutch stuff, e.g., they contributed to the 2017 Giving in Europe report. You can find his email address here. I don’t know him well but he attended a small event we organised.
