Only 4 out of 10 Hungarians donate to charity at Christmas, but who are the most popular beneficiaries?
Four out of ten plan to donate and/or volunteer this Christmas; the most would help animal shelters, children living in state care and people living in deep poverty, Yettel’s research revealed. Only one person out of ten would do charity for disabled people, even though today every 20th person in Hungary lives with some kind of disability. This is what the service provider draws attention to in its joint Christmas collaboration with KézenFogva Alapítván, in which disabled people helped homeless people.
Compared to last year, the desire to be charitable has not changed. According to their own admission, 77% of Hungarians did charity work in some form during the year, four out of ten people donated and volunteered, and half of them are definitely planning to do something at Christmas, while a third of the respondents did not yet know whether they would do charity work, Yettel revealed. from national research[1]. For the fourth time this year, the mobile service provider examined the Christmas contact and shopping habits of Hungarians, which also covered charitable purposes this year.
The number of those offering material donations decreased by a few percent compared to the previous year, but two-thirds of Hungarians still choose this form of assistance, for example with clothes, shoes, school supplies. At the same time, the number of those who regularly made a monetary donation increased slightly compared to the previous year, and their occasional amount also increased: while last year 26% of those surveyed donated an amount of over HUF 10,000, this year it is already 33%. Slightly more than two-thirds of the donors usually give an amount below HUF 5,000 on occasion. Even the smallest support helps: small amounts of so-called micro-donations can also be initiated from a mobile phone by calling or sending an SMS to the premium donation lines of designated organizations – in the case of the KézenFogva Alapítvány, to the number 13600/13.
