R.I. ranks last, Mass. 27th in annual giving index - Providence Business News: "WATERTOWN, Mass. – Wyoming residents with incomes of $200,000 or more per year gave the most to charity in 2005, followed by residents of Oklahoma, South Dakota, Arkansas and Utah, the nonprofit Catalogue for Philanthropy said in its 11th annual report. Their peers in Rhode Island gave the least, followed by New Jersey, Alsaka, Hawaii and West Virginia."

Please note that the headline is incorrect and misleading. The Catalogue for Philanthropy merely posted the IRS numbers on giving and income for the top income group in the top income states.
Our "Opportunity Index" does no ranking at all; it merely reports what each state's top income group would have given if its giving rank were the same as its income rank in 2005.
Thank you for correcting this error,
George McCully, President, Catalogue for Philanthropy
