Philanthropy beat: Report says we love to volunteer | StarTribune.com

Philanthropy beat: Report says we love to volunteer | StarTribune.com: Nearly 1.6 million Minnesotans volunteered in their schools, churches and communities in 2011, or about 38 percent of all residents.

It was the fourth highest level of volunteerism in the nation, according to the annual "Volunteering and Civic Life in America" report released last month. The report builds on Minnesota's status as a national leader in giving back to communities.

The top five states for volunteering are Utah (41 percent), Idaho (39), Iowa (38.4), Minnesota (38) and South Dakota (37).
