Summary
Dutch charity giving hits a record low despite rising incomes, with just 0.54% of GDP donated in 2024 — the lowest since 1995. Fewer households are donating, dropping from 83% in 2022 to 76% in 2024, while only 34% now say they’d give — down from 83% two decades ago. But those who do give are giving more: average annual donations rose to €415 per household, up €53 from four years ago, and wills are seeing a 13% surge. Experts warn that without increased regular contributions, charity’s share of GDP will keep falling — even as wallets get fuller.
