NAB CHARITABLE GIVING INDEXIn-depth report: 12 months to February 2016

n Welcome to the latest edition of the NAB Charitable Giving Index.

Giving to charity increased by 6.5% over the year to February 2016, up from just 2.4% a year earlier. A resilient economy, solid employment growth, strong household consumption and lower levels of consumer anxiety helped support the charity sector and the ongoing generosity of Australians.

Despite the challenges facing some states as the economy rebalances post the mining boom, it was particularly heartening to see charitable giving grow in all states, led by Victoria and South Australia, and in all charity sectors.

Not only did the rate of donations growth accelerate, but those who donated gave more, with the average donation size up $12 to $348 per donor. Average donations increased in all states except WA, in metropolitan and regional areas and in all age groups except 15 to 24 year olds – a group facing major employment challenges, which may have impacted their ability to give.

In this edition, we also release for the first time detailed state data, including market share, average donation size and growth by charity sector – and it reveals some notable differences in charity behaviours across the states.

n At NAB we recognise and respect the vital role that the not-for-profit (NFP) sector plays in the functioning of our economy and society. While it is pleasing to see the lift in charitable giving in the year to February 2016, demand for services from NFPs is increasing and funding pressure from overall revenue sources is on the rise.

The lift in charitable giving bodes well for philanthropy as a NFP revenue source. We continue to work with the NFP sector and business to support not only philanthropic activity but also innovation, with the ultimate goal of diversifying revenue streams to build a vibrant and sustainable NFP sector for future generations.

The NAB Charitable Giving Index, which offers unique insights and data to help NFPs develop their philanthropic fundraising strategies, is one of a number of key initiatives by NAB to help deliver on this goal.

“The large portion of donations being directed towards Humanitarian charities is evidence that these causes continue to resonate the most with Australians, who have also responded generously to emergency relief appeals over the past year (such as the Nepal Earthquake and Cyclone Pam appeals).”Tony Davis, Quantium

• The rate of growth in charitable giving increased over the year to February 2016, with NAB’s Charitable Giving Index up 6.5% (from only 2.4% in the year to February 2015).

• A resilient economy, an improvement in employment growth, strong household consumption and lower levels of consumer anxiety supported more positive charity spending behaviours in the past year.

• Charitable giving grew in all states – and at faster rates than in the previous year – except in WA. Growth was fastest in VIC (9.6%) and SA (9.1%) and slowest in WA (2.5%).

Average donation size was biggest – by some margin – for Humanitarian Services ($435) and smallest for Other charities ($124).

• Average donation size increased in all states except WA (down $2 to $320). NSW had the highest average donation ($386), but donation size increased most in SA (up $21 or 6.2% to $358) and was lowest in QLD ($309). By region, donation size increased in metropolitan (up $12 to $359) and regional (up $11 to $317) areas and in all age groups expect 15 to 24 year olds.

Fewer consumers have beencutting back on their charityspending over the past year.

Charitable giving growth has acceleratedThe rate of growth in charitable giving in Australia increased over the year to February 2016, with NAB’s Charitable Giving Index rising by 6.5% (up from only 2.4% over the year to February 2015).

Economy is providing support, with consumer anxiety fallingThe economic environment looks to have provided some solid support for the charity sector, with recent GDP growth figures providing reassurance that the Australian economy has remained resilient against an uncertain global backdrop and weak commodity prices.

Moreover, household consumption has been strong, possibly a reflection of the sustained improvement in employment growth over 2015. Consumption was also supported by a notable decline in the household savings ratio – which dipped to its lowest level since the GFC – and provided some offset to slow growth in household income.

NAB’s Consumer Behaviour Surveys also suggest that consumer anxiety has been falling steadily in recent quarters. Significantly, consumer stress relating to cost of living pressures, while still elevated, has fallen for four consecutive quarters and remains below long-term average levels.

And positively influencing the charitable spending behaviours of Australian consumersWith overall anxiety levels easing, consumers appear to have responded positively in their charitable spending behaviours. Chart 4 indicates that fewer consumers have been cutting back on their charity spending over the past year.

Of course, consumer anxiety levels and spending behaviours vary across states. But the latest NAB Consumer Behaviour Survey also shows that consumer anxiety is now below long-term average levels in states except WA, and that fewer consumers are also cutting back charity spending in all states except Tasmania.

With this in mind, it was heartening to see charitable giving grow in all states over the year to February 2016, and at faster rates than in the previous year in all states except WA (see pages 11–20 for details on individual states).

“Australians continue to be increasingly giving towards charities, with more Australians donating, and a higher amount being donated per year on average.”Tony Davis, Quantium

Charitable giving grew in all states, led by Victoria and South AustraliaCharitable giving grew in all states, with the fastest rates of growth recorded in Victoria (9.6%) and – despite some economic difficulties – South Australia (9.1%). In both states, growth was significantly faster than in the previous year (2.1% and 1.4% respectively).

NSW (6.3%), the ACT, NT & Tasmania combined (6.3%) and Queensland (4.7%) were the next strongest performers, with growth also faster than year-earlier levels.

In contrast, charitable giving in WA slowed to 2.5%, down from 5.9% a year earlier and a peak of around 18% during early 2014, as the mining investment boom started to slow. This has exerted significant downward pressure on the labour market, wages and consumer confidence, and also looks to have impacted on donations behaviour.

Charitable giving from metropolitan areas outpacing growth in regional areasIn terms of location, charitable giving has accelerated in both metropolitan and regional areas to 6.6% and 6.0% respectively. This was up from 2.1% and 3.3% in the previous year to February 2015. Charitable giving from metropolitan areas has now been outpacing that from rural areas since April 2015.

These results correspond with NAB’s Consumer Behaviour research, which suggests more consumers living in regional areas are showing a greater inclination to cut back on charitable donations than those living in capital cities.

Over-65s leading growth in charitable giving, with donations also growing in all other age groups except 15 to 24 year oldsA clear relationship has emerged between donor age and the rate of growth in charitable giving. Growth was strongest for over-65s (12%) and was significantly faster than year-earlier levels (6.7%). It also accelerated in all other age groups except for the youngest Australians (15 to 24), where it contracted 4.5% after growing 1.5% in the previous year.

Young people usually earn less than older people. They are also facing much greater employment challenges. Unemployment rates in this age group have remained elevated over the past year and significantly above the Australian average. Job uncertainty is likely to be a contributing factor to more cautious donation behaviours in this group.

All charity sectors enjoyed positive rates of growth over the year, but some more than others. Medical Research and Other charities experienced the fastest growth in donations and Animals & Environment the slowestNearly all charity categories experienced faster growth in giving over the year to February 2016, with the exceptions of Charitable Lotteries and Other charities.

That said, Other charities remained one of the fastest growing sectors overall, enjoying an increase of more than 11% over the year. In contrast, giving to Charitable Lotteries slowed to 3.5%, after having grown by over 13% in the previous year.

Overall, charitable giving grew fastest in the Medical Research sector, which reported a 17.2% increase in giving over the year to February 2016 (9.8% in the previous year). This was led by exceptionally rapid donations growth to this sector in both Victoria (37.2%) and South Australia (34%).

The biggest turnaround in giving growth was seen in Cancer charities, where growth accelerated to 5.1%, reversing a 6% decline in the year to February 2015 when it lagged all other sectors. This improvement was led by a notable turnaround in South Australia (where giving to Cancer charities grew by almost 18% after falling by 15.5% in the previous year) and in Queensland (11.4%), which offset a 1.2% contraction in Victoria.

Donations growth was weakest for Animals & Environment charities, with giving up just 1.6% (broadly unchanged from the previous year), as modest growth in most states was offset by a 9.7% contraction in charitable giving to this sector in WA and a 0.2% fall in Queensland.

Humanitarian Services charities continue to enjoy the lion’s share of total donations Market share by charity category was broadly unchanged across all categories over the year to February 2016.

Humanitarian Services continued to dominate overall market share for charitable giving with 35% of total donations.

Health & Disability and Charitable Lotteries held the second biggest share with 12% each, followed by Community Services & Children/Family (11%), Cancer (9%), Animals & Environment (8%) and Other charities (7%).

Humanitarian Services also attracted the biggest share of donations in metropolitan (35%) and regional (33%) areas.

Charitable Lotteries attract a much bigger share of donations in regional areas and Community Service & Children/Family more in metropolitan areasRegional areas however allocated a much bigger share of their total donations to Charitable Lotteries than metropolitan areas (16% versus 11%), while metropolitan areas gave more to Community Services & Children/Family charities (11% versus 8%).

Allocations were broadly similar across all other charity categories.

Differences in the allocation of charity spending were much more apparent by age group.

Humanitarian Services charities continued to attract the lion’s share of donations in all age groups, but this ranged from around 37% for 15 to 44 year olds to just 31% for over-65s.

Over-65s donate a much bigger share to Health & Disability charities, but 15 to 24 year olds give most to Animals & EnvironmentOver-65s allocated notably more of their charity donations to Health & Disability charities, at around 18% compared to between 9% and 12% across all other age groups. They also allocated the biggest share to Community Services & Children/Family (12%) and Medical Research (8%) charities.

In contrast, 15 to 24 year olds allocated a much larger share to Animals & Environment charities (14%) relative to all other groups (between 7% and 9%), while 25 to 34 year olds gave the biggest share to Cancer (12%). Donors aged between 55 and 64 gave the biggest share to Charitable Lotteries (15%).

Average donation size typically increases with age in nearly all charity categoriesDonation size typically rises with age in all categories. Over the year to February 2016, the average total donation ranged from $138 for 15 to 24 year olds to $456 for over-65s. Donation size also increased in all age groups in the past year, expect for 15 to 24 year olds (down 3%).

Middle Park (3206) in Victoria has emerged as the most generous postcode in Australia, with an average donation of $327 per person Middle Park (3206) has emerged as the most generous postcode in Australia for charitable giving over the year to February 2016, with an average donation of $327 per person – more than three times the national average.

Mosman (2088) was the next most generous postcode, donating $295, followed by Hunters Hill (2110) with $279, Toorak (3142) with $267 and Deakin (2600) with $258.

Not surprisingly, the 20 most generous postcodes are mostly high-income areas. Indeed, the latest data from the Australian Taxation Office indicates an average taxable income of around $120,000 in this group – more than double the national average of $58,700.

O’Connor (2602) with an average income of $68,500 and Fitzroy North (3068) with an average of $73,350 were the notable exceptions in this group.

But Castlemaine (3450) in Victoria is the most generous when giving is expressed as a percentage of income, donating on average 0.36% of taxable incomeA different picture of generosity continues to emerge when average donations are expressed as a percentage of taxable incomes.

In this instance, Castlemaine (3450), with an average income of just $42,650, is ranked as the most generous postcode in Australia, donating 0.36% of average incomes to charity.

Next most generous were Blaxland (2774) with average donations of 0.35% of income, Fitzroy North (3068) with 0.33%, and Brunswick East (3057), O’Connor (2602) and Sturt (5047) with 0.32%.

It is also notable that the 20 most generous postcodes by income had an average taxable income of just under $60,000.
