Americans are now more generous than ever before

According to the report of Giving USA Foundation, 2015 was was the most generous year in America.

Moreover, figures say that Americans gave more to charity than they’ve ever given. Being more accurate, charitable donations from individuals and corporations rose by 4% to $373.25 billion in 2015.
