In a world of almost non-stop negative news and reports of violence, it’s hard to imagine the world is headed in the right direction. But don’t believe everything you see on the news. Americans remain more committed than ever to helping their fellow Americans and those around the world in need. Giving USA 2016: The Annual Report on Philanthropy for the Year 2015 reports that donations from America’s individuals, estates, foundations and corporations reached an estimated $373.25 billion in 2015, setting a record for the second year in a row.
