[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not arguing that OP is the most generous person out there, but just a reality check and reference point for everyone suggesting to donate 10% or more -- the average American (whether you consider the average American generous is up to you, I suppose) donates about 2.1% of adjusted gross income. It would be an even lower percentage of total gross income. http://nccs.urban.org/sites/all/nccs-archive/html/knowledgebase/CHARITABLE_CONTRIBUTIONS_BY_STATE.pdf[/quote] Minor correction, that 2.1% number isn't the average American, it's the average American [i]that claims the charitable donation deduction[/i]. Presumably, the average of all Americans (which would include people who take the standard deduction or don't claim the charitable donation deduction), would be even lower than 2.1% of AGI.[/quote]
