- Title
Information Source Reliance and Charitable Giving Decisions.
- Authors
Li, Huafang; McDougle, Lindsey
- Abstract
This study examines the relationship between donor reliance on information and donors' subsequent charitable giving decisions of both time and money. To examine this relationship, we utilize data from an original survey of residents in San Diego County, California ( n = 1,002), asking donors about their charitable activities and the information sources that they use to facilitate their charitable decisions. Our findings reveal that relying on information from both nonprofit accrediting agencies and personal experiences positively influences donors' decision to give time to nonprofit organizations (that is, volunteer), but has no significant impact on decisions to give money. Implications of these findings are discussed.
