Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the giving of money and volunteering in the Australian community. This is part of a larger "Giving Australia" project initiated by the Prime Minister's Community Business partnership and coordinated by the Australian Council of Social Service in collaboration with the Centre for Australian Community Organisations and Management (CACOM) at the University of Technology, Sydney; the Centre of Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies (CPNS) at the Queensland University of Technology; Roy Morgan Research (RMR); McNair Ingenuity Research, and the Fundraising Institute of Australia (FIA). The Giving Australia: Business Community Involvement Survey, 2005 (ASSDA Study No. 01085) is also available as part of this series.
Variables include donations to assorted institutions such as education, medical research, community services, international aid; environmental, cultural, sporting, political or religious groups; how they were approached to make these donations; which methods of payment they used, and whether they were aware of or motivated by any tax implications. Respondents were asked their motivations for making and not making donations and volunteering behaviours were also questioned.
Background variables include gender, age, household structure, country of birth, religion, income and occupation.
