MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Definition and scope of study
In 2022, donations in France rose by 1%, the lowest increase in 10 years (excluding 2018, during which donations fell by 4.6%, largely due to exceptional tax changes).
The generosity market covers all donations made by individuals or companies to associations or foundations. Legally, it is possible to distinguish three types of donation:
- manual donations, which require no formalities: they can be made in cash, in kind, or in the form of a debt waiver;
- notarial donations, made before a notary;
- bequests, established by will.
This study does not cover sponsorship, CSR or Impact Investing. In fact, the generosity market is concerned solely with donations, which do not involve any quid pro quo.
Worldwide, the generosity market experienced strong growth in 2021. Indeed, this year has been the most lavish in terms of donations from individuals, putting an end to the downward trend that began in 2018. Donation rates in high-income countries rose by an average of 10%. With the exception of Burma and Indonesia, the 10 most generous countries are high-income countries.
At national level, the number of donor tax households fell by 1.9%, while the amount of donations increased in identical proportions. After declining in 2018, the amount of donations has continued to grow, particularly in 2020 with a 7.1% increase. Indeed, this year saw a surge in generosity from the French, facilitated by the drop in consumption due to multiple confinements.
The main players in the generosity market are, on the one hand, private individuals (retirees and employees being the most invested in this market) and, on the other hand, companies, whose donations can be3.6 billion euros in 2021), and on the other, associations and foundations benefiting from the generosity of the general public.

Interesting study to understand a market in regular decline. Change in human behavior well measured and analyzed. A rare example of a leader who after a strategy of regular price increase is forced to change his strategy and lower his prices.
