The survey aimed to estimate the extent of philanthropy of Israelis by source and size of donations, and to compare it with other income sources of non-profit institutions (NPIs). The purpose of the survey was to depict the private financing of social services in Israel. The NPIs were surveyed via a paper questionnaire. They were asked to provide data about their income during the years 2012–2015 and to provide details on their income from the philanthropy of Israelis by source and size of donations. In all, the survey included a sample of 418 NPIs from all fields of activity, which represented all NPIs in Israel whose income was above 500,000 NIS per year.
The survey "Philanthropy of Israelis 2012–2015" was conducted by the Central Bureau of Statistics in cooperation with the “Committed to Give” initiative and ILP. Full report.
