RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – ’Tis the season for giving, and the latest World Giving Index shows that the United States is the sixth most generous country in the world. Wallethub took a closer look at which states give the most both in time and money.
The study ranked states across 17 key indicators—including volunteer rates, share of income donated, and availability of charities.

- Wyoming claimed the top spot overall, earning high marks for volunteer hours (around 29 hours per person annually) and charitable income (about 4% of adjusted gross income).
- Utah followed close behind, leading the nation in volunteer participation (nearly 47%) and volunteer hours (46+ hours per capita).
- Maryland ranked third, with the highest percentage of taxpayers donating (over 16%) and strong ratings for charitable income and top-rated nonprofits.
