Our earlier findings concerning no diminution of philanthropy during recessions, excepting corporates, seems to have held for 2020-2023 in Australia and Aotearoa . Happily, there is more useful data available than for previous recessions. However, Aotearoa continues to lag significantly behind other countries in collection, analysis and publication of giving data. Economic and social factors at national and global levels undoubtedly affect giving, but these affects are not well studied or recognised.
