Charitable giving is top of mind for most affluent individuals, according to a study by BNY Mellon Wealth Management, which found that 56% of the affluent currently have a charitable giving strategy and 22% would consider adopting one.

The top two motivators for giving are personal satisfaction and personal connections, the survey found, with 91% of those surveyed agreeing that a charitable giving strategy is a part of their overall wealth strategy.
