1999 Private Charitable Generosity Index: Section Six: Conclusion

[Previous] [Contents] [Next]

The 1999 Private Charitable Generosity Index represents an important step forward in quantifying private, individual generosity. It will further the dialogue about the charitable sector, its capacity, role, and limitations. However, the process of development and refinement will continue as more data is added to the index calculation and additional historical data is included. The next step is to investigate more rigorously the relationship between generosity, as measured by the Private Charitable Generosity Index, and possible explanatory variables, such as tax rates, income levels, economic freedom, and demographics.

We invite and encourage comments and suggestions from interested parties on how we can best improve the Private Charitable Generosity Index.
