Comment on 75% of techies don’t give regularly to charity. Here’s why.

It's actually easier than that. Techies are more likely to be atheists or not attend church. That's where most of the "charitable" giving in the US goes. A replacement for that would be fantastic, but there just isn't anything pounding into techies week after week that they should put 10% of their income towards charities.

Lutheran World Relief will gladly take donations over the web (even from atheists :-P ). They have a four star rating from Charity Navigator, which is a pretty good rating. All of their financial statements are available online.
