falling inflation to the rescue? | EUROtoday

For associations and foundations, 2023 seemed gloomy, because of inflation. Asked about their donation intentions firstly of final yr, as a part of the annual Ipsos/Apprentis d'Auteuil solidarity barometer, the French have been reserved. Six in ten felt they not had the identical monetary capabilities as in 2022. And these surveyed considering of giving lower than the earlier yr (39%) have been extra quite a few than these planning to present extra (22%) – a primary because the The research is carried out (2019).

If the sector figures for 2023, from the France Générations union, are anticipated on the finish of May, preliminary indicators recommend that, maybe, the worst has lastly been prevented.

There have been “more fear than restraint, whether young, senior, low or high income, the French say they were there”decide Stéphane Dauge, director of communications, benefactor relations and sources of the Apprentis d'Auteuil basis, studying the 2024 barometer (performed on-line with one thousand 5 hundred adults in February and March).

In element, 51% of respondents say they’ve given cash no less than as soon as to an affiliation or basis in 2023 (this was 50% for 2022), 81% amongst high-income households with no less than 120,000 euros internet yearly (+ 3 factors over one yr).

371 euros per donor

“Even among the most modest, households with less than 15,000 euros of income, yet those most affected by inflation, the share of declared donors increased by one point, to 43% for 2023 », notes Mr. Dauge. He adds that “the generosity of young people continues to increase, with 56% of donors declared among those under 35.” A determine up 14 factors over three years, and better than that of the general inhabitants.

Another supply of optimism for the sector, the common quantity per donor reached, for 2023, 371 euros within the basic inhabitants (in comparison with 333 euros for 2022), and a pair of,686 euros amongst excessive incomes, a file stage (it was 2 372 euros for 2022).

The fall in inflation throughout 2023 appears to have modified the scenario. While it was at its highest, round 6%, within the first quarter, when respondents have been requested about their intentions, it had fallen again under 4% on the finish of the yr, probably the most favorable interval for donations.

“The generosity that the French say they expressed in 2023 was clearly a response to emergencies – they mobilized in particular in the face of earthquakes in Turkey, Syria, Morocco – and then in the fall after the appeal of Restos du coeur », further deciphers Mr. Dauge. And the study shows the “awareness of growing precariousness, of the difficulties encountered in particular by young people, and of the fact that “whatever it takes” is over, that the associative sector is finishing up actions that the State can not perform alone »he continues.
