Per Capita charitable donations for European Union countries as well
as Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic.

Request for Question Clarification by pafalafa-ga on 29 Jul 2003 17:34 PDT
I've found some very recent research that compares charitable giving
in the U.S. to 13 countries in Europe, including Hungary and the Czech
Republic, but not Poland.  Not all the EU countries are listed.

The author notes that very little comparative research has been done
on charitable giving in Europe.  There isn't much data, apparently,
and what does exist is several years old, even though the research was
just published a few months ago.

Let me know if this data would be of interest as an answer to your
question.

This data you speak of would be useful if it identifies at a minimum
the amount of charity in each of the countries. From there I can
calculate per capita numbers. My main countries of interest are the
UK, and the Netherlands but info on the 13 countries you mention would
be very worthwhile.

Thanks
