Americans do more than just reach in their pockets to help others, though. They also contribute their time — and plenty of it. Nearly 76 million people volunteer in the U.S., serving a combined total of roughly 5 billion hours per year, the equivalent of $167.2 billion of service.
In the spirit of inspiring altruism, WalletHub determined the most charitable of the 50 states by comparing them across 17 key indicators of charitable behavior. Our data set ranges from the volunteer rate to the share of income donated to the share of sheltered homeless.
