Women are more likely to be "super givers" – meaning they have donated money, donated goods, volunteered, fundraised for a charity and sponsored someone else's fundraising efforts in the past year – than men, according to new research.

The research from Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), based on findings from a YouGov survey of 21,852 individuals between January 2024 and August 2025, found that around 1% of people (676,000) in the UK overall would qualify as super givers. CAF identified 10 places with the highest concentration of super givers in the country, with around 2.4% residents in each area falling into this category.
