Data from Roy Morgan shows that 58% of Australians aged 14+ (an estimated 13.2 million people) donated an average of $594 to charity in the year to 30 June 2025, contributing approximately $7.9 billion in total. Donations have followed a steady upward trend since June 2015, with a few slight dips in recent periods over the last decade, including during the last year as cost-of-living concerns became prevalent, even as official inflation decelerated rapidly over the last two-and-a-half years. Over the last decade the average size of charitable donations made by Australians has grown significantly. In 2015-16 the average charitable donation per donor was $334; this increased by $166 (+50%) in the next five years to an average of $500 in 2020-21. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth in the size of the average charitable donation has continued, but at a slower pace, up by $94 (+19%) over the last four years to $594 in 2024-25.
