Abstract
Charitable giving takes different forms in a Muslim society like
Pakistan. Monetary/non-zakat, zakat, in kind, giving time, usher, hides
and giving at shrines etc. are different forms of charitable giving.
Broadly it can be split into money and time. Monetary donations and
time volunteered is given to individuals, organizations or both. This
paper aims to identify socio-economic determinants of charitable
giving in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa along with an attempt to understand the
relationship between charitable giving and volunteering. Further, it
aims to find relationship between charitable giving to individuals and
to organizations. The study tests the hypothesis that there is no
relationship between charitable giving and volunteering in the study
area. Using 2014 survey data of Pakistan Centre of Philanthropy
(PCP), a correlation test has been used. The results show that there is
a complementary relationship between charitable giving to individuals
and to organizations whereas charitable giving and volunteering are
substitutes. Multiple regression results show that gender, region of
residence, monetary donations to organizations and zakat payments,
significantly affect charitable giving to individuals whereas giving to
organizations is also affected by region of residence. Income is another
factor significantly affecting charitable giving to organizations.
