    American Jewish Philanthropy 2022: Giving to Religious and Secular Causes in the U.S. and to Israel Report
    (Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, 2024-02) School of Philanthropy, Indiana University Lilly Family
    This report examines American Jewish giving and volunteering in 2022, with a strong emphasis on religious giving and giving to Israel-focused organizations. The analyses that make up the findings of the report are based on a survey developed for this study which was conducted by SSRS in March 2023. The survey and these analyses are enhanced by prior studies of Jewish philanthropy. The subsequent analysis explores how certain factors—household income and wealth, marital status, educational attainment, children living at home, and age—influence philanthropy as demonstrated by prior research (Bekkers & Wiepking, 2011; Rooney et al., 2018; Wiepking & Bekkers, 2012) and how those effects differ as compared to non-Jewish households. This report also contributes to the body of philanthropic research by examining factors that are specific to Jewish philanthropy, including religiosity, engagement in and affinity for the Jewish faith, affiliation with different Jewish denominations, Jewish ethnic backgrounds, and concerns toward and experiences with antisemitism. It delves into motivations for giving and provides detailed information about the largest gifts given by Jewish households. In addition to its contribution related to giving to Israel-focused organizations, the report also details the allocation of gifts to specific types of organizations or causes.

    Muslim American Zakat Report 2022
    (Muslim Philanthropy Initiative, Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, 2022-04-14) Siddiqui, Shariq; Wasif, Rafeel; Hughes, Micah; Parlberg, Afshan; Noor, Zeeshan
    Zakat and sadaqa are key Islamic philanthropic traditions. Zakat, the third of five pillars of Islam, is an obligatory act of giving. Sadaqa is voluntary giving beyond the minimum threshold of zakat. Sadaqa can take the form of money, action or abstention; the intention is what defines the act as charitable. This report details the findings on zakat from a self-administered web survey conducted by SSRS for the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. The larger study, of which these findings are a part, surveys the opinions of Muslims and the general population regarding faith customs, donation practices and attitudes, volunteer work, remittances, tolerance, and diversity. SSRS conducted its survey from January 25 through February 15, 2022 with 2,010 adult respondents (age 18 and over), including 1,006 Muslim and 1,004 general population respondents. SSRS reached eligible respondents via a nonprobability web panel sample. We restricted questions about zakat to the Muslim sample.
