GivingPulse

GivingPulse is a weekly survey designed to investigate a broad range of giving behaviors and sentiments, supported by the Fidelity CharitableĀ® Catalyst Fund. Survey responses provide insights into the state of generosity and allow the sector to explore how various events, interventions, crises, and demographic factors impact or correlate with generosity in near real-time. This survey encompasses the diverse set of behaviors that people engage in to support others including financial and material donations, volunteering, advocacy, and mutual aid.
