K ennedy said, ‘ ‘The raising of extraor- dinarily large sums of money, given voluntarily and freely by millions of our fellow Americans, is a uni q ue American tradition. . . Philanthropy, charity, giving voluntarily and freely. . . call it what you like, but it is truly a j ewel of an American tradition ’ ’. (2) Americans gave more than $ 3 00,000,000,000 to chari- table causes in 200 7, an amount equal to roughly 2 percent of the gross domestic product. (3) The vast majority of those donations, roughly 7 5 percent or $229,000,000,000, came from individuals. (4) Studies have shown that Americans give far more to charity than the people of any other industrialized nation— more than twice as much, measured as a share of gross domestic product, than the citizens of Great B ritain, and 10 times more than the citizens of France. (5) 7 out of 10 American households donate to charities to support a wide range of religious, educational, cultural, health care, and environmental goals. ( 6 ) These charities provide innumerable valuable public services to society’s most vulnerable citizens during difficult economic times. (7) Congress has provided incentives through the Internal Revenue Code of 19 8 6 to encourage charitable giving by allowing individuals to deduct contributions made to tax-exempt charities. 42USC1 2 65 1 cnote. 42USC4 9 5 0 note. 22 USC 83 04.
