Let's face it: On paper, Austin doesn't look so hot when it comes to charitable giving.
In 2003, the Chronicle of Philanthropy ranked the Austin area one of the 10 stingiest in the country. The numbers, based largely on data from itemized IRS forms, show Austin-area residents gave 6 percent of their discretionary income to charity. By comparison, residents in the survey's most generous area, Salt Lake City, donated 14.9 percent."
