List Of Countries By Charitable Donation
The following list of countries by charitable donation, prima facie, measures the generosity of nations by showing the percentage of GDP donated to non-profit organizations by individuals. However, tax as a proportion of GDP is much higher in some nations. So the relatively low figure for donations for Sweden, for example, does not necessarily mean lower generosity. Perhaps Swedes show their generosity through paying higher taxes which allow better social welfare and one of the most generous international development expenditures. The figures were published in January 2016 by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) in its report titled ''Gross Domestic Philanthropy''. The report only considers the 24 countries about which CAF was able to collect comprehensive data. 2016 rankings See also * List of development aid country donors * List of countries by Official Development Assistance received This is a list of countries based on the official development assistance (ODA) th ...

Generosity
Generosity (also called largess) is the virtue of being liberal in giving, often as gifts. Generosity is regarded as a virtue by various world religions and philosophies, and is often celebrated in cultural and religious ceremonies. Scientific investigation into generosity has examined the effect of a number of scenarios and games on individuals' generosity, and potential links with neurochemicals such as oxytocin, and relationship with similar feelings, such as that of empathy.

Non-profit Organization
A nonprofit organization (NPO) or non-profit organisation, also known as a non-business entity, not-for-profit organization, or nonprofit institution, is a legal entity organized and operated for a collective, public or social benefit, in contrast with an entity that operates as a business aiming to generate a profit for its owners. A nonprofit is subject to the non-distribution constraint: any revenues that exceed expenses must be committed to the organization's purpose, not taken by private parties. An array of organizations are nonprofit, including some political organizations, schools, business associations, churches, social clubs, and consumer cooperatives. Nonprofit entities may seek approval from governments to be tax-exempt, and some may also qualify to receive tax-deductible contributions, but an entity may incorporate as a nonprofit entity without securing tax-exempt status. Key aspects of nonprofits are accountability, trustworthiness, honesty, and openness to eve ...
