Higher cost of living impacting charity donations

Soaring inflation and energy prices have resulted in fewer people contributing to charity or contributing less, according to the results of a survey conducted by the IPSOS polling agency. Close to half of Czechs contribute to charity in spite of their higher living expenditures, but 15 percent admit they have had to cut back on financial assistance for people in need. Many say they try to make up for it by helping in other ways. The vast majority of Czechs are used to contributing to charity; three quarters of them do so or would like to do so. Only a quarter say they do not help at all.
