GENERAL
Giving USA is a trusted source for information, data and trends about the philanthropic sector. We do not rely on anecdotal stories to compile our reports. We use estimating methods developed by experts in philanthropy, statistics, and economics to project what household tax returns and IRS Form-990s submitted by nonprofits will show two or more years down the road, after the Internal Revenue Service com-pletes its analyses.
