Religion continues to be a strong driver of generosity. In 2025, a third of donors around the world said they donated money because they were motivated by their religion's teachings. Additionally, religious organizations are one of the most popular types of charities to support, with 31% of people giving money and 25% of people volunteering for associated causes.

Over 120 million people are affected by displacement, a compounding crisis that can lead to instability in all facets of life and uncertainty about what comes next.

Nonprofit and community-based organizations are often the first, and sometimes the only, actors able to respond. Yet, these organizations often struggle to secure the funding they need to scale their services as displacement crisis evolve. With unrestricted and multi-year funding, donors can help charities not only respond to crises, but prevent them.

Learn more about social purpose organizations' role in responding to displacement crises in our latest blog: https://cafamerica.org/blog/understanding-and-responding-to-displacement/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=blogev&utm_content=learnmore

August is and it's the perfect time to think about how giving back fits into your legacy.

Over half (56%) of affluent U.S. adults intend to integrate philanthropy into their estate plans but 25% of these prospective legacy donors still haven't actually formalized their intentions. This planning gap represents over $484 billion in potential gifts that could support meaningful causes and transform lives around the world.

Work with a professional to decide how, how much, and where you want to give back, while ensuring your family’s future comfort. Partners like CAF America can help you understand all your options and leverage your bequest for maximum impact.

Start planning your legacy today and create positive change for causes that matter to you.

Your donor data tells a story: when, why, and how people choose to give. When managed well, it can strengthen relationships and reveal new opportunities for impact.

Keep your records clean and meaningful with a few key practices: safeguard sensitive information, update contact details regularly, document successes and areas for growth, and create donor segments to personalize communication.

Make sure your data works as hard as you do to support your mission.

Understanding generosity at a global level requires looking beyond financial indicators to the social fabric that underpins giving.

Recent insights from the World Giving Report emphasize the role of community, collaboration, and shared identity in shaping philanthropic behavior across different contexts.

Our President and CEO, Jessie Krafft, reflects on the importance of nurturing a culture of giving that can take root across communities and contexts. For institutions operating across borders like ours, this serve as a reminder of the importance of investing not only in funding pathways, but also in the broader environments that enable generosity to grow and endure.
