Religious people in the US are continuing to give to their houses of worship—and to other causes—with money and in-kind donations despite rising costs for daily living, a new report shows.
More than 8 in 10 (81 percent) faith-based givers who donated money in 2023 gave funds
to houses of worship, and 60 percent gave $1,000 or more, according to Giving in Faith: Exploring Key Trends in Religious Giving, a joint 2024 report from Givelify, a mobile and online app, and Indiana University’s Lake Institute on Faith & Giving.
Most religious donors (81 percent) gave the same amount of money (or more) to their congregations in 2023 as in 2022.
