Giving Australia 2016: Large business giving

Giving Australia 2016 collected comprehensive information from individuals, charitable organisations, philanthropists and businesses in Australia about their giving and volunteering behaviours, attitudes and trends. This study built on information gathered through Giving Australia 2005. This data set includes the anonymised Giving Australia 2016 Large business giving survey data. Along with the interviews and focus groups, the survey contributed to answering the following research questions: How are giving and volunteering behaviours changing over time including the use of innovative giving and volunteering platforms? What factors influence people to utilise methods of giving, such as bequests, workplace giving and collectives (e.g. giving circles) and foundations? What are the opportunities to grow levels of giving and volunteering among individuals and business? What are the current trends in levels of corporate social responsibility, including participation in workplace giving and corporate volunteering programs and is this changing over time? What factors contribute to differences between businesses approaches to corporate social responsibility according to their size, industry sector or location?
