Abstract

According to the Charities Aid Foundation, more than three in ten adults worldwide will donate money to charity in 2020. Indonesia occupies the world’s #1 spot for money donations, likely driven by religious giving. The Annual Report on Philanthropy for the Year 2020, reports that charitable giving grew from three of the four sources of giving and to seven of the nine major types of recipient charitable organizations in 2020, but the experiences of individual charities may vary. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the World Giving Index and giving at the Lions Clubs International Foundation. We investigate whether financial donations made to international humanitarian LCIF in different countries around the world influence the World Giving Index. Main methods used are panel regression and correlation analysis. The results of our research suggest that donations made to LCIF have a positive impact on the World Giving Index. We supported our findings with extended theory of planned behaviour model for Slovakia based on a questionnaire with 150 respondents. Research limitations include the selection of one year of observation.
