Or people have figured out many so called charities and non-profits are frauds or just don’t do what they say they do.

I know more people who perform individual charitable acts than people who give to organizations.

I don’t see giving to gargantuan organizations as likely to actually help many people who arent management level employees of those same organizations

That is probably happening with many legal citizen/tax payers.

Also, how many illegals give anything to charities and yet are included in these numbers?

Or it may be the Scrooge effect: government ‘charity’, however ineffective, drives out personal charity by convincing people they already give.

It may have something to do with the obnoxious leftism by some charities that many folks want no part in supporting.

Bingo! I used to give to a veterans group and found out the heads of the damn thing were partying. Even the VFW is an overall scam. Heart Associations don’t give to people with heart problems, they give to lobbyists to get more grants for research. I spend on a local church to only keep up the church and property.

And candidates like Buttgieg think Jesus’ command to feed the poor can be fulfilled by govt, so who needs to give to charity?
