WORLD GIVING INDEX 2021

World Giving Index (WGI)

• The World Giving Index (WGI) is an annual report published by the Charities Aid Foundation and ranks over 140 countries in the world according to how charitable they are.
  
  
• The first edition was released in September 2010.
  
  
• The WGI is a global survey, which asks people three questions: In the last month have you…
  • Helped a stranger, or someone you didn’t know who needed help?
    
    
  • Donated money to a charity?
    
    
  • Volunteered your time to an organisation?
    
    
  
  
  
• The index measures countries by proportion of population giving rather than how much they give.
