A growing number of researchers at universities, nonprofit organizations, foundations, and in many states and regions in the United States and around the world are delving deeper into the national giving and volunteering trends explored in Independent Sector's research. As a service to the field, Independent Sector maintains the Giving and Volunteering Research Clearinghouse, currently comprised of nearly 400 studies. The Clearinghouse offers brief descriptions of and links to these myriad resources to give nonprofit and foundation leaders, media, and scholars access to a comprehensive listing of local, state, national, and international research works on charitable behavior.
