$1.27 billion in donations: the thought that counts - 28 Mar 2007 - NZ Herald: New Zealand National news: "New Zealanders give slightly more of their incomes to charity than Australians do, but much less than Americans.

The first comprehensive study of giving in this country, prepared by Berl economists for Philanthropy New Zealand, has found that New Zealanders gave 0.81 per cent of their national income to charitable causes in 2005-06.

Australians gave 0.68 per cent, but Americans gave 2.2 per cent."
