America Gives: Survey of Americans’ Generosity After September 11

Abstract

The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University surveyed 1,304 adults about their household’s philanthropic behavior after the events of September 11, 2001. The questions were part of a larger study on giving that the Center was conducting at the time of the September 11 attacks. The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) and the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy funded the post-attack portion of the study and joined the Center in releasing the results.
