Arizona Giving & Volunteering Survey
These data were collected in the summer of 2009 as part of the Arizona Indicators Panel study. This survey asked Arizonans about their household's charitable giving and their individual volunteering during all of 2008. This wave of the Arizona Indicators Panel study was organized by the ASU Lodestar Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Innovation for its periodic reporting on giving and volunteering in Arizona. Their full report is due out this spring.
Of the approximately 1,000 panel members, 687 responded to the Web-based survey. Household representatives come from all Arizona counties, and 27 chose to complete the survey in Spanish. Economically disadvantaged respondents may receive the benefit of computer hardware and internet access necessary for participation in the panel, which facilitates their involvement in the study. The final data are weighted to account for under-representations of several major demographic characteristics, such as the sex, age, and race of respondent.
