Refrigeration to fifth place: joy of donation hits waves!

In North Rhine-Westphalia, the subsequent rods are particularly generous. The current statistics of the State Office for Information and Technology, IT.NRW, shows that Nachrodt-Wiblingwerde with a per capita donation of 192 euros in 2020 takes fifth place in the national comparison. This corresponds to a total amount of 1.24 million euros, which was raised by the 6,466 inhabitants of the community. This leads the subsequent rods in the Märkisches Kreis, although their population is relatively low compared to other municipalities, as come-on.de reports.

In the entire Märkisches Kreis, 31.232 million euros flowed to donations - an average amount of 76 euros per inhabitant. In the nationwide comparison, the citizens of NRW spent a total of 1.3 billion euros for charitable purposes, which corresponds to a per capita donation of 75 euros. On the top position, however, the city of Siegen, which donated 504 euros per capita, was followed by Burbach and Olpe. These remarkable numbers reflect the high willingness to donate, which can also be seen in the DZI donation index. The DZI documents that despite economic challenges in 2023, German citizens donated around 12.8 billion euros, which is only a slight decline of 1.9 percent compared to the previous year, as dzi.de

The donation amount not only illustrates the high willingness to help of the population, but also a continuing trend to support non -profit projects. After the Ukraine War, the willingness to donate rose sharply, which was reflected in record values. These developments show that people are still willing to donate money for important social purposes, even though purchasing power is affected by inflation.
