    Columbus First to Hear Giving USA Results By Lead Researcher

    American individuals, bequests, foundations, and corporations gave an estimated $427.71 billion to U.S. charities in 2018. More than 200 central Ohio nonprofit leaders learned the news from Una O. Osili, Ph.D., the lead researcher of Giving USA 2019: The Annual Report on Philanthropy for the Year 2018, during the Giving USA event last week at The Columbus Foundation.

    Comparing the giving environment over the past couple of decades, Dr. Osili said, ā€œA lot has changed in 25 years. What has not changed is the generosity of the American people.ā€
