An empirical study by Professor Arthur C. Brooks of Syracuse University, to test the extent to which liberals and conservatives in American donated money, blood, and time to philanthropic endeavors, found that conservatives donated on average both a larger amount of money and a higher percentage of their incomes (which were slightly lower than liberals’ incomes) to philanthropic causes, that they donated more hours of their time as volunteers, and that they donated far more blood.
