Christian Donors in Britain Keep Giving, Despite Recession
A poll of Christians living in the United Kingdom finds they are still giving despite the recession, the nonprofit consultant Mark Phillips writes on his blog.
Sixty-nine percent of people in the survey, which was conducted in May by ComRes on behalf of Premier Christian Radio, have maintained their levels of giving since the recession began, and 16 percent are giving more.
Just 13 percent said they are contributing less, and 1 percent reported halting their giving altogether.
Tables from the survey of 512 people are available here.
By contrast, a study of British donors conducted in April by Bluefrog, Mr. Phillips’s consulting group, found that 31 percent were no longer giving to charity, compared with 26 percent in a similar study in November.
