Wealth of Giving Drops as Share of Income in War Years
The piece surveys American charitable giving from 1920 to 1945, noting per capita totals rose in the 1920s then fell through the 1930s and 1945, while the percent of income given hit a historic low of about 1.38 percent in 1945. It argues that large expenditures on pleasures and public drives, plus tax changes, explain declines, and questions whether added gifts to community chests offset overall reductions.
