leaders, policymakers and librarians rely on GIVING USA to provide the
latest facts and figures on philanthropic giving. GIVING USA 2003 contains

with user-friendly graphics to highlight trends.
GIVING USA is researched and written
at The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, the nation’s premier
philanthropy research institution.

the Center’s faculty and research team to enhance and build on AAFRC’s
near half-century of data on giving.
